This classic handbook deals with the geotechnical problems of rock slope design. It has been written for the non-specialist mining or civil engineer, with worked examples, design charts, coverage of more detailed analytical methods, and of the collection and interpretation of geological and groundwater information and tests for the mechanical properties of rock.

Rock Slope Engineering,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock Slope Engineering: Third edition (Paperback)
This is the premier reference book for rock slope stability analysis and construction. Even though the book is more than 25 years old the, guidelines are relevant and useful for modern-day rock engineering.
