Geo-Congress 2013: Stability and Performance of Slopes and Embankments III (Geotechnical Special Publication 231)

Proceedings of the 2013 Geo-Congress, held in San Diego, California, March 3-7, 2013. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 229 peer-reviewed technical papers and case studies focusing on the stability, performance, and rehabilitation of slopes, embankments, and dams. Topics include: exploration and characterization of soil and rock slopes; design, analysis, and performance of slopes; monitoring and inspection of slopes; hazard assessment and management; and ground improvement and stabilization in the repair and remediation of slopes. These papers are valuable to geotechnical researchers and practicing engineers, especially those interested in the design and maintenance of slopes, embankments, and dams.
