Slope Engineering for Mountain Roads
Author: Gareth J. Hearn
language: en
Publisher: Geological Society of London
Release Date: 2011
Provides a complete guide to the study, design, construction and management of landslide and slope engineering measures for mountain roads, with emphasis on low-cost. The geographical focus is on the tropics and sub-tropics, but is also highly relevant to other regions where heavy rain, steep slopes and weak soils and rocks combine to create slope instability. The causes and mechanisms of landslides are described, and the hazards they pose to mountain roads are illustrated. Methods of desk study, field mapping and ground investigation are reviewed and illustrated, with emphasis on geomorphological and engineering geological techniques. The design and construction of alignments, earthworks, drainage, retaining structures, the stabilization of soil slopes and rock slopes, and the control of erosion on slopes and in streams covered. Slope management as part of road maintenance and operation is reviewed, and procedures for risk assessment and works prioritization are described.

The field of slope engineering encompasses slope stability analysis and design, movement monitoring, and slope safety management and maintenance. Engineers in this field are concerned with landslides and other gravity-stimulated mass movements. Their job is to frequently evaluate existing and proposed slopes to assess their stability. As such, this book provides information on remote sensing in landslide detection, tunnel face stability, stability analysis and maintenance of cut slopes, design techniques in rock and soil engineering, statistical models for landslide risk mapping, slope stability analysis in open-pit mines, ecological engineering for slope stabilization, and asphalt-stabilized strengthening in open-pit coal mining.
Slope Engineering in Hong Kong
The rapid economic growth in recent years has resulted in increasing demand on Hong Kong's infrastructure, and the use of steeply sloping sites with extensive cut and fill slopes for building development. In the dense urban environment of Hong Kong, pressure to maximize land use is intense. The proceedings contain a keynote paper which describes the risk management of slopes of Hong Kong and an invited paper which presents the state-of-the-art of slope design in Hong Kong. The publication also contains papers with a wide range of topics including case studies, slope hydrology, design and analysis of slopes, application of quantitative risk techniques in slope stability assessment and other special topics. This will be a useful reference book for geotechnical engineers in Hong Kong and other parts of the world dealing with slopes in tropical soils and densely populated areas.
