Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications (5th Edition) – PDF

Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications 5th edition (PDF) provides comprehensive information on the design, excavation, investigation, and remediation of human-made rock cuts and natural slopes, with a focus on civil engineering applications. The etextbook covers topics such as the structural geology, shear strength of rocks, groundwater, and weathered rock, with slope design methods detailed for planar, circular, wedge, and toppling failures. It also includes seismic design and numerical analysis, slope stabilization, blasting, movement monitoring, and civil engineering applications.

This 5th edition of the etextbook has undergone significant updates, with new chapters on weathered rock, seismic design of rock slopes for pseudo-static stability, and Newmark displacement. The etextbook now includes the use of remote sensing techniques, such as LiDAR, to monitor slope movement and gather structural geology data. The chapter on numerical analysis has been revised with a focus on civil applications, emphasizing its usefulness in the field.

This ebook is suitable for practitioners who work in various fields such as energy and industrial development, transportation, and for graduate and undergraduate level courses in geological engineering. Please note that this e-book Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications 5e in PDF format does not include any access codes.
