By Jose A. Ortigao,J. A. R. Ortigao,Alberto Sayao

This booklet is geared toward the practicing engineer and engineering geologist operating in tropical environments, the place lands lides are commonly brought on by means of rain fall. This e-book relies on an analogous paintings released in 1999 in Portuguese, which turned the Rio de Janeiro Slope guide. This booklet is an engineering consultant for the layout of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It evolves from the cumulative event accrued via numerous engineers and geologists who confronted serious slope difficulties. The authors' event all through crucial and South the United States (Costa Rica, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela) and the a ways East, in particular Hong Kong and Malaysia, used to be used as a beginning for scripting this publication. The paintings additionally merits significantly from the time spent in Hong Kong in 1996 and 1997 via the 1st editor on sabbatical on the urban college of Hong Kong, and the discussions he had with many colleagues from the Geotechnical Engineering place of work (GEO) of the Hong Kong executive, particularly Dr. A. Malone, Mr. w.K. Pun, Dr. A. Li, Mr. ok. Ho, and Mr. y.c. Chan between others.
