SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN SLOPE STABILITY
THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF SLOPE STABILITY IS DESCRIBED. BOTH SLOPE AND FOUNDATION PROBLEMS ARE CONSIDERED. SOME OF THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS CONCERN CRACKING IN EMBANKMENTS, COLLAPSIBLE SOILS, TECTONIC AND LARGE-AREA MASS MOVEMENTS OF SOILS, STABILIZATION OF SLIDE AREAS, AND BASIC ASSUMPTIONS IN METHODS FOR ANALYZING SLOPE STABILITY. THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD OF STRESS AND ANALYSIS MAY BECOME A VALUABLE TOOL FOR INTERPRETING STRESS AND STRAIN CONDITIONS IN LOADED SOIL MASSES. ALSO, IMPROVING CORRELATION OF ANALYTIC PROCEDURE WITH PROTOTYPE BEHAVIOR IS DISCUSSED. /ASCE/
