STABILITY ANALYSIS OF HOMOGENEOUS EARTH SLOPES (2014)
<p>Slope is an exposed ground surface that stands at an angle with the horizontal. Slopes are required in the construction of highway and railway embankments, earth dams, levees, canals etc., and are generally less expensive. Failure of natural slopes and ...

IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON STABILITY OF NATURAL SLOPES (2008)
How the global worming environment has affected the stability of natural slopes.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS FOR EMBANKMENT DAMS (2007)
 
<p>This white paper is intended to be a "living document" that presents the "state of the practice" for determining fill strength parameters for earthfill embankment dams and the static analysis of embankment dams.</p>

INFLUENCE OF LANDSLIDE GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC DEFORMATIONTO DESCRIBE THE LIQUEFACTION OF LANDSLIDES:SOME THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS (2006)
The generation of excess pore pressure and possible liquefaction can be explained by different mechanisms. In literature, less attention is given to the effects of landslide geometry and kinematic deformation on the generation of excess pore pressure and possible ...

JOINT STRUCTURE AND COAL STRENGTH AS CONTROLS ON RIB STABILITY (2006)
The assessment of the stability of coal ribs needs to consider not only the impact of the cleating and jointing in the coal but also the possible onset of failure of the coal itself. The same planar, wedge and toppling failure modes seen in pitwall slopes ...

MANUAL FOR WEDGE SHEAR TESTING OF SOILS (2004)
<p>This manual is intended to enable the reader to have the necessary special equipment made, and to perform and evaluate all three versions of the wedge shear test. A diskette containing the relevant computer programs and typical input data is to be found ...

SEISMIC STABILITY OF ROCK ISLANDS FOR BRIDGE PROTECTION IN COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA (2003)
The design for a major cable-stayed bridge to be constructed in seismically-active Charleston, South Carolina, included rock islands around the main span piers as protection from shipimpact. Considering the seismic potential, a primary concern was the potential ...
