Behavior of Rock in Slopes

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2000
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.

The monitoring of rock slopes

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology, 1973
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

Stability Assessment of Rock Slope and Design of Rock Slope Reinforcement

2019
The 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.

Stabilisation of Rock Slopes

2004
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 ...

Rock-Mantled Slopes

1994
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).

Rock Slope Stability

1976
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

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 ...
