Site investigation, analysis, monitoring and treatment : Canadian technical guidelines and best practices related to landslides : a national initiative for loss reduction / M. Lato, P. Bobrowsky, N. Roberts,...M183-2/8114E-PDF

"The purpose of this contribution is to present a “what to do” and not “how to do” discussion regarding the investigation, analysis, monitoring and treatment of landslides. It presents, in general terms, what to consider when planning and carrying out site investigations, when selecting appropriate methods to analyze slopes for stability, when designing and implementing a monitoring program, and when planning and designing the treatment of an existing or potential landslide (see also Highland and Bobrowsky, 2008). The Open File reviews the fundamentals of such topics, but only provides broad details of methods and techniques, their appropriate use and limitations in summary tables with appropriate references"--Introduction, page 1.
