Synopsis

This classic handbook deals with the geotechnical problems of rock slope design. It has been written for the mining or civil engineer who is not a specialist in rock or soil mechanics and it contains many worked examples to assist the reader in relating the techniques described to his own slope problems. Design charts which provide a rapid check on the stability of both rock and soil slopes are presented together with more detailed analytical methods for the study of critical slope problems. The book also covers the collection and interpretation of geological and groundwater information and tests for the mechanical properties of rock.
