At the end of this course students will be able to:

- calculate flow rate in nonhomogeneous and anisotropic 1D and 2D seepage problems

- identify an unstable slope; plan the investigation and monitoring of unstable slopes

- determine the shear strength parameters that needs to be used in slope stability analysis; and how these parameters can be obtained by laboratory tests or field measurements,

- perform seepage and slope stability analysis by hand and by using softwares, and understand the limitations and important factors in the process,

- analyze the effects of slope stabilization methods, and propose alternative stabilization methods to an unstable slope

- develop an understanding of landslides in different types of materials, seismic slope stability and probabilistic slope stability concepts.
