LANDSLIDE CONTROL OPERATIONS IN CITIES

PERFORMANCE RECORDS OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES ALREADY COMMISSIONED AND/OR IN USE, INCLUDING ANTI-LANDSLIDE ENGINEERING WORKINGS, ACCOUNT FOR THE BULK OF THE DATA IN THE BOOK. THE READER IS REFERRED TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR DESCRIBTIONS OF LANDSLIDES (WHICH INCLUDES, AMONG OTHERS, THE WELL KNOWN PUBLICATION EDITED BY E. B. ECKEL, U. S. G. S., IN ITS RUSSIAN TRANSLATION). AS A WHOLE, THE BOOK IS BASED UPON PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE GIPROKOMMUNSTROY, RSFSR STAFF, IN PROJECTS SUPERVISED BY THE AUTHOR OR IN WHICH HE PARTICIPATED DIRECTLY. THE EMPHASIS IS ON CONCRETE CASES AND ON LOCAL DETAILS, INASMUCH AS NEGLIGENCE OR IGNORANCE OF MAN IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF LANDSLIDES. CERTAIN VERY INTERESTING PRE-ESTIMATIONS OF STABILITY OF SLOPES AND GROUND, OF TENSIONS IN THE SLIDING MASS, AS WELL AS SERVICEABLE REFINEMENTS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY, FOR THE USE OF ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS IN CALCULATIONS OF THE TENSION FIELDS, SLOPE-CONTROL UNDERTAKINGS, LIQUIDATION OF GULLEYS IN CITIES, AND OTHER ENGINEERING THEMES CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE VALUE AND INTEREST OF THE BOOK. /AUTHOR/
