[Live Webinar] Slope Stabilization: Walls, Anchors, Bolts and Nails

This lecture will address three main topics.  The first will cover rock slopes including failure types, rock strength and stability analysis.

The second topic covers cover slope stabilization methods for loose blocks and rock slabs, as well as other failure types. Difference between active and passive methods.  Use of bolting, anchors, shotcrete, reinforced concrete grids and pillars to support rock blocks.  The use of steel meshes, trenches and barriers to trap sliding blocks and rock sheds.

The third topic will address drainage and erosion protection issues.  This includes superficial and internal drainage details, erosion protection using vegetation, geosynthetics and biomesh, drainage of walls and protection against debris flow and mudslides.  Finally, drainage maintenance issues.

The Slope course is based on the Handbook of slope stabilization, a copy of which will be made available to the participants.
