Abstract: |
The technical significance of rock slopes. Differences from soil slopes. Kinematic mechanisms of potential instability in rock slopes. Slope of fragmented rock mass: sliding of fractured rock on a curved surface. Planar sliding: sliding of layers along a plane (sliding conditions and stability analysis, influence of groundwater, tensile cracks). Wedge sliding of rock from the slope: sliding along two intersecting planes, geometry determination, stability analysis, use of charts. Overturning of near-vertical structures: types of overturning, kinematic mechanisms, stability analysis. Numerical analysis and simulation of rock slopes. The discrete element method. Regulations. Rock slopes and Eurocode 7. Exercises for consolidating the material. Case study.
