| Summary | Providing an overview of developments in the design and construction of earthworks, this volume has a focus on those associated with transport infrastructure. It includes case studies from across Europe, which summarise current design standards and national codes of practice. Geotechnical risk and performance are addressed with discussions on the long-term stability of cuttings and embankments, the causes of slope failure, and a variety of stabilization techniques including the introduction of drainage measures and electrokinetic geosynthetics. |
