The Q-Slope Method for Rock Slope Engineering

Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2017
Q-slope is an empirical rock slope engineering method for assessing the stability of excavated rock slopes in the field. Intended for use in reinforcement-free road or railway cuttings or in opencast mines, Q-slope allows geotechnical engineers to make potential adjustments to slope angles as rock mass conditions become apparent during construction ...

Rock Slope Stability

2004
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 ...

On the Stability of Rock Slopes

2005
The 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

Friction of Rocks and Stability of Rock Slopes

Géotechnique, 1971
Synopsis 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.
