Rock Slope Engineering Wyllie Duncan C. Wyllie & Norrish Rock Engineers Ltd. Vancouver Canada Paperback

Rock Slope Engineering covers the investigation, design, excavation and remediation of man-made rock cuts and natural slopes, primarily for civil engineering applications. Slope design methods are discussed for planar, wedge, circular and toppling failures, including seismic design and numerical analysis. It presents design information on structural geology, shear strength of rock and ground water, including weathered rock.

It now includes the use of remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR to monitor slope movement and Information is also provided on blasting, slope stabilization, movement monitoring and civil engineering applications.This fifth edition has been extensively up-dated, with new chapters on weathered rock, including shear strength in relation to weathering grades, and seismic design of rock slopes for pseudo-static stability and Newmark displacement.
