This practical study comprises eighteen practical and field-tested software packages on landslide in soil and rock and a further six on tunnels, complete with source programs, user manuals and worked examples. Using these software packages, this book illustrates how geomaterials in hazardous areas can be analyzed for potential failure and how predictions based on realistic input data can be generated.
