N2  - This book approaches the problems of slopes and excavations with technical knowledge and helps to better control the dangers and thus prevent damage to the population. Embankments as sloping earth surfaces occur everywhere. They are more or less worked by man, thus altering their natural state. Thus one should the effects of these changes and to be sure about the safety of the slopes. Only with this knowledge changes should be carried out in order to be able to assess their impact on people and the surrounding area. Excavation pits are being placed deeper and and closer to neighboring structures, and must therefore be handled by engineers. This book is a translation of the original German 3rd edition ‘Böschungen und Baugruben’ by Bernhard Wietek, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. The content: Slopes - Excavations - Spatial structures - Shorting - Underpinning - Shafts - Anchors and soil nails The target groups: - Civil engineers and architects in planning execution, structural and geotechnical engineers - Design engineers and experts in construction supervision, planing and engineering offices, construction technicians - Students of civil engineering and geotechnical engineering The author: Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Bernhard Wietek is a civil engineer for civil engineering and owns an engineering office, he is involved in the education of civil engineers in many ways
