OF ROCK SLOPES

AS RELATED TO DESIGN CONSIIERATIONS J~hn, K W Proc International Symposium on Field Measurements in Rock Mechanics, Zurich, .4-6 A p r i l 1977, V2, P735-756. ~ 1 Rotterdam: A A Balkmm, 1977 Discusses the i m ~ e of rock elope monitoring as an integral part of d e a n a~d construction procedures. Three case studles are pres e n t ~ briefly, showing the role of monitcrir~: i) slope atability problem caused by irdlscriminate cutting of an access road, 2) slope stability problems during dam construction, 3) problem with the stability of steep cut slopes of a dam diversion cha~-l.

PUbl R o ~ a m : A A Balkema, 1977 Rel~rts ~wo case studles: a slope movemen~ above a quarry, and a moving slope on the coastline below a n ~ housing development. The author compares the use of surveying methods ard instrumentation to measure horizontal anl vertical displacements, good results being obtained by a telluric method in the quarry example. Defermarion measurements in boreholes a~i shafts are also discussed.

Soil parameters are taken to be rs~dom variables. Propa~ t i o n of the rulfGure surface within soil slopes is defi~.~i ard a stochastic model l::rese3:I~ed for its determination. Probability of failure is assessed by the Monte Carlo sinEtlation method.
