Rock Slope Engineering,
4th Edition
by Duncan Wyllie and Christopher Mah
Engineering projects often require the excavation of rock cuts that must be safe
from rock falls and large-scale slope instability, during both construction and
operation.
Fully revised and updated by Wyllie and Mah, the fourth edition of this classic
handbook by Hoek and Bray, comprehensively addresses the design and excavation
of rock slopes. Design charts provide a rapid check on the stability of both
wedge and circular slope failures, together with more detailed analytical methods
for the study of critical slopes. Methods for the collection and interpretation
of geological and groundwater information are discussed, and tests for the
determination of rock strength properties are described. Coverage has been
extended to incorporate the latest developments, including seismic effects
on stability, numerical modeling, slope stabilization, rock fall protection
and movement monitoring. Case studies in both civil and mining engineering
are included.
It contains many worked examples to assist the reader in relating the techniques
described to practical slope design, and provides over 300 carefully selected
references. The main topics covered are:
