Rock Slope Engineering

Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications, 5th Edition, addresses the investigation, design, excavation, and remediation of natural slopes and engineered rock cuts. The textbook focuses on civil engineering projects, exploring how structural geology, groundwater, and rock shear strength influence slope equilibrium.

It covers stability analysis for planar, wedge, circular, and toppling failure modes alongside numerical modeling and seismic design. In addition, the text examines operational practices for blasting, slope stabilization, and field movement monitoring.

Prepared for undergraduate and graduate courses in geological engineering, the volume also serves industry practitioners working across transportation, energy, and industrial development.
