Stability of rock-armoured mild slopes [PDF]

open access: yesCoastal Engineering
Physical model tests have been performed to study static stability of rock-armoured mild slopes. Current stability design formulae for steeper rock-armoured slopes focus on plunging and surging waves.

Failure of rock slopes [PDF]

open access: yes
The presence of natural discontinuities in a rock mass is the main factor that distinguishes rock slope from soil slope analyses. One problem peculiar to rock mechanics is the choice of the most appropriate approach (continuous or discontinuous) to follow for taking the presence of the discontinuities into account when modelling the rock mass. Starting

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.

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
