Expanded coverage of seismic design of rock slopes using pseudo-static stability and Newmark displacement analysis.

The chapter on numerical analysis has been updated with a specific emphasis on civil engineering applications. Core Technical Content

Includes rock strength properties, shear strength of discontinuities, and the Hoek–Brown strength criterion .

The book is structured to address the full lifecycle of a rock slope project:

Detailed analysis of weathered rock masses, including shear strength in relation to weathering grades.
