48. Rock Slope Engineering, Fourth Edition

    Fourth edition

    By Duncan C. Wyllie, Chris Mah

    The stability of rock slopes is an important issue in both civil and mining engineering.  On civil projects, rock cuts must be safe from rock falls and large-scale slope instability during both construction and operation. In open pit mining, where slope heights can be many hundreds of meters, the...
