This text examines a range of current methods for the analysis and design of slopes, and details the limitations of both limit equilibrium and the finite element method in the assessment of the stability of a slope. It also introduces a variety of alternative approaches for overcoming numerical non-convergence and the location of critical failure surfaces in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's New in the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis latest edition builds on the concepts of the first edition and covers the case studies involved in slope stability analysis in greater detail.
