Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Stability analysis has always been a critical issue in geotechnical engineering. Many of the design works by engineers are actually based on the ultimate condition which can be assessed without the need of the initial condition and sophisticated constitutive models. A brief introduction about the stability analysis will be given in this chapter.
