SLOPE STABILITY - 1: NATURAL SLOPES; PART 1: LANDSLIDES. STABILITY ANALYSIS

STABILITE DES TALUS - 1: VERSANTS NATURELS; 1ERE PARTIE: PREPRESENTATION DES GLISSEMENTS - ANALYSE DE LA STABILITE

Part 1 comprises general articles which introduce parts 2 and 3. The first article reviews the legal aspects of landslides. The different attitudes adopted by geotechnics engineers and the legal profession are discussed. The establishment of the zermos plan (zones exposed to risk of soil and subsoil movements) is outlined. Article 2 describes the different types of landslide classified into 4 categories: rock falls, landslides, creep and mud flow. This classification which is in agreement with that selected by the "societe internationale de geologie de l'ingenieur" (international society of geological engineering) is illustrated with examples taken mainly from French sites. The following two articles show the first three mountain maps drawn up for the zermos plan; allowing for the different conditions in which those maps were prepared, it is possible to follow the evolution in the methods of preparing them, which are still changing. The last article describes methods of slope stability analysis used in the study of various types of slope. The problem is presented as that of limit equilibrium of soil mass which must satisfy all equilibrium equations; the main calculation methods used in the case of circular and non-circular failure are outlined. /TRRL/
