Slopes and Excavations: Design and Calculation

This book approaches the problems of slopes and excavations with  technical knowledge and helps to better control the dangers and thus  prevent damage to the population. Embankments as sloping earth surfaces  occur everywhere. They are more or less worked by man, thus altering  their natural state. Thus one should the effects of these changes and to  be sure about the safety of the slopes. Only with this knowledge  changes should be carried out in order to be able to assess their impact  on people and the surrounding area. Excavation pits are being placed  deeper and and closer to neighboring structures, and must therefore be  handled by engineers.
