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

The Q-Slope Method for Rock Slope Engineering
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2017Q-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 ...

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.
