Engineers in this field are concerned with landslides and other gravity-stimulated mass movements. Their job is to frequently evaluate existing and proposed slopes to assess their stability. As such, this book provides information on remote sensing in landslide detection, tunnel face stability, stability analysis and maintenance of cut slopes, design techniques in rock and soil engineering, statistical models for landslide risk mapping, slope stability analysis in open-pit mines, ecological engineering for slope stabilization, and asphalt-stabilized strengthening in open-pit coal mining.
