Rock Slope Engineering Reference Manual. Part E: Rock Slope Stabilization, Protection and Warning-Instrumentation Measures and Related Construction Considerations

摘要

Remedial measures for rock slopes can consist of stabilization, protection, or warning methods, or a combination of these three basic methods. A description of the three basic approaches which can be used to remedy rock slope problems is as follows: Stabilization Methods-These methods give a positive solution to the problem in that either the driving forces are reduced or the resisting forces are increased; Protection Methods-These methods prevent rock materials which have moved out of place on the slope from reaching the roadway, thus also offering a positive solution to slope stability problems; Warning and Instrumentation Methods-These methods provide a forewarning that movements have taken place, or that failure has occurred and a hazard may be imminent in the vicinity of the roadway.
