Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications (5th Edition) is a comprehensive guide that covers the principles and practices of rock slope engineering in civil applications. The book provides a detailed overview of the geotechnical aspects of rock slopes, including the classification of rock masses, rock slope stability analysis, and methods for rock slope stabilization.
The content of the book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of rock slope engineering. Topics covered include the geological characteristics of rock slopes, the mechanics of rock slope failure, and the design of rock slope stabilization measures. The book also discusses the use of numerical modeling techniques for analyzing rock slope stability and provides case studies of real-world rock slope engineering projects.
Written by a team of experts in the field, Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications (5th Edition) is a valuable resource for civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, and geologists involved in the design and construction of rock slopes. The book is filled with practical information, illustrations, and examples that make it easy to understand and apply the principles of rock slope engineering in various civil applications.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
