• Abstract:
  This reference manual was prepared by Dr D.R. Methods & Associates, British Columbia, in conjunction with a series of Rock Slope Engineering Workshops sponsored by the Implementation Division of the Federal Highway Administration. The manual consists of eight main parts as follows: Part A: Engineering geology considerations and basic approach to rock slope stability analysis. Part B: Methods of obtaining geologic structural, strength and related engineering geology data. Part C: Approach and techniques in geologic structural analysis. Part D: Slope stability analysts methods. Part E: Rock slope stabilization, protection and warning - instrumentation measures and related construction considerations. Part F: Blasting for rock slopes and related excavation considerations. Part G:(Field Manual) Description of Detail Line Engineering Geology Mapping Method Part H:(Appendix) Chapter 9 of Landslides; Analysis and Control (TRB Report 176)
