| Abstract | This manual is concerned with the stability of rock slopes, with methods for assessing this stability and with techniques for improving the stability of slopes which are potentially hazardous. It is intended that it serve as both an instruction manual for engineers carrying out slope stability investigations and designing rock slopes, and a guide for construction engineers involved with excavation and stabilization. With this purpose In mind, the manual contains sections on methods of rock slope design, practical exercises demonstrating the application of these methods, sections on blasting, slope stabilization, contracts and contract management. |
