Description
This valuable three volume set of publications contains vital information from throughout the world on landslide and slope instability problems.

Every four years the worlds leading scientists and engineers dealing with landslides, have the opportunity to meet up and engage in the exchange of ideas and experiences at a symposium run under the auspices of ISSMGE Technical Committee 11. These volumes, taken from the 8th symposium in the series, detail investigations into landslide causes, mechanisms and hazards, together with accounts of monitoring and mapping. Also covered is slope instability in response to rainfall and variations in groundwater.

Sometimes human interference in the natural environment is the cause of slope instability. There are a number of papers on this aspect, especially relating landslide activity to dams and reservoirs. Descriptions of natural processes and landslide events are complemented by descriptions of methods of landslide stabilization with detailed case records of the performance of the works.

These three volumes contain contributions from the world`s leading landslide authorities, providing invaluable information for anyone involved in this important field of engineering.
