Assessment of rock mass decay in artificial slopes, Beoordeling van de degradatie van gesteentemassa's in kunstmatige hellingen

This research investigates the decay of rock masses underlying slopes, and seeks to quantify the relations of such decay with time and geotechnical parameters of the slope and rock mass. Decay can greatly affect the geotechnical properties of rocks within engineering timescales, and may induce a rapid change in mass strength, from initial rock...
