Landslides: Theory, Practice and Modelling

This book, with contributions from international landslide experts, presents in-depth knowledge of theories, practices, and modern numerical techniques for landslide analysis. Landslides are a reoccurring problem across the world and need to be properly studied for its mitigation and control. The chances of landslide occurrence and associated hazard have increased due to increased natural and anthropogenic activities. The book focuses on landslide dynamics, mechanisms and processes along with hazard mitigation using geo-engineering, structural, geophysical and numerical tools. The contributions cover a wide range of tools and techniques available for prediction, prevention and mitigation of landslides.
