Slope Stability in Folded Rocks

摘要

The principal objective of this research project was development of computerprograms for the stability analysis of rock slopes adjacent to Tennessee State routes and highways. Three computer programs; PlaneSlip, WedgeSlip and RockSlip, collectively referred to as the ROCKSLIP PACKAGE, were developed. For specific application to slopes in folded rocks, a new analysis procedure based on potential energy was developed.
