This is an edited volume comprising over a score of contributed scientific review and research papers authored by reputed earth scientists and experts, based at different distinguished research institutions from within and outside India. Broadly dealing with the study of slope stability, these papers cover a wide spectrum of specific areas such as landslide hazards, slope analysis, shear strength of rock joints and rock masses, geotechnical assessment of slope failure, landslide hazard zonation, biostabilisation of dump slope, geosynthetics, and numerical modeling for landslide. Besides that, the book also addresses the safety and environmental concerns related to the topic. Included are many field survey based empirical case studies of hilly areas particularly from northern Himalayan regions and North East part of India. As a whole, the book may serve as a useful reference source for researchers engaged in similar studies.
