Stability Assessment of Rock Slope and Design of Rock Slope Reinforcement
2019The stability analysis of rock slopes has been a challenging task because of the presence of discontinuities in various forms which result in different types of slope failures. Discontinuities are the weakest zones in the rock mass. Failure mechanism of a rock slope mainly depends on the characteristics of discontinuities.

The behavioral modes to which a rock slope is susceptible are many and complex. This article discusses a long but not exhaustive list of common failure styles, highlighting observable characteristics that distinguish one from another. Slopes in both strong and weak rock masses are considered.

Summary This paper reviews some principles of rock slope monitoring and describes equipment that can be used for this purpose. In attempting a broad review of techniques it is impossible to give full details relevant to each item of equipment, or to supplement the text with case histories. This information can be found in the bibliography, in

This chapter presents stabilisation practices for rock slopes. Stabilisation processes can be divided into two groups: 1. Techniques which attempt to fix loose blocks in place by rock anchoring or bolting to avoid their fall; 2. Techniques that do not prevent loose blocks from falling, but attempt to reduce the risk of rockfall ...

This chapter will consider hillslopes with gradients less than 40° that are neither active, undissected piedmonts (i.e. pediments and alluvial fans, which are dealt with in Chapters 13 and 14) nor are developed in highly erodible, fine-grained sedimentary rocks (i.e. badlands slopes, which are treated in Chapter 9).

Engineering geologists and geomorphologists are interested in the stability of rock slopes for rather different reasons. The former are concerned with slope design and safety while the latter are concerned with the mechanics of natural slope development and change. Obviously there are areas of common interest and it is proposed first of all to consider

On the Stability of Rock Slopes
2005The stability of rock slopes under wave attack is addressed in this paper. The research on this issue as presented in Van der Meer (1988) and in Van Gent, Smale and Kuiper (2003) forms the basis for the analysis presented here. In the latter paper new physical model tests were described and analysed to obtain information on how to apply design formulae

This chapter deals with rock slope stability, a subject that has shown remarkable development in the last twenty years relative to methods for estimating shear strength of rock discontihuities and methods of analysis. This theme is presented in the literature by Hoek (1998); Hoek and Bray (1981); Wyllie and Norrich (1996a, 1996b); Norrich and Wyllie ...

Friction of Rocks and Stability of Rock Slopes
Géotechnique, 1971Synopsis The similarities and differences between soil and rock mechanics are discussed with particular reference to the stability of slopes. The effects of constraints and of the stiffness of the system applying stress are of greater importance in rock mechanics. The criteria for failure of rocks are mostly empirical and lead to linear or power laws.
