Проблема оползней, переработки берегов водохранилищ, устойчивости склонов речных долин и морских побережий равнинно-платформенных областей (Волга, Кама, Одесса и др.) разрабатывается с перерывам:; на Геологическом факультете Московского Университета с 1951 года (кафедры динамической геологии, гидрогеологии, грунтоведения и инженерной геологии), С 1963 года были начаты инженерно-геологические исследования по формированию и устойчивости высоких склонов в горно-складчатых областях в связи с гидротехническим, городским и другими видами строительства (р,Енисей : Зап.Саянах; р.Нарын в районе плотины и водохранилища Токтогульской ГЭС; долина р.Ингури, Западная часть ЮБ Крыма и Черноморское побережье Кавказа).

The construction, design, remediation and maintenance of slopes have always formed an important area of geotechnical engineering, which is often termed as ‘slope engineering’. A wide variety of applications of slope engineering include excavations, hill roads, railway lines, embankments, earth dams, reservoirs, open-cut mines, urban development of hilly areas, protection of river banks and coastal slope stability.

Te process of assessing a rock slope for stability involves the application of many branches of engineering and natural science. Te determination of rock or soil strength parameters requires a working knowledge of rock mechanics and/or soil mechanics. Knowledge of basic hydrological concepts is essential for interpreting the efects of water on a rock slope. An understanding of geology—especially structural geology, mineralogy, petrology, and the geological processes—is extremely important for the rock slope engineer. Tese areas of knowledge—geology, rock and soil mechanics, and hydrology—along with other basic areas such as statics, engineering mechanics, statistics, and structural engineering are all important elements of rock slope engineering and design. <...>

Design of slope angles for open pit slopes have become increasingly important as mining depths in open pits worldwide continue to increase. Even a minor decrease of the slope angle leads to large additional costs due to increased waste rock extraction. On the other hand, with increased slope angles comes an increased risk of slope failure. A large scale failure can be very disastrous both to the operation and to the personnel working in the mine. <...>

Slide2 и Slide3-это две из лучших геотехнических программ на рынке для анализа устойчивости склонов.

Популярность этих двух
программ объясняется не только их универсальностью. Их простота в использовании, доступность и, самое главное, их постоянные инновации ставят их впереди других программ <...>

This fifth edition of Rock Slope Engineering has been prepared 42 years after the first edition authored by Evert Hoek and John Bray in 1974, and 12 years after the fourth edition in 2004. This 42-year period is an expression of the evolution of this field of engineering – the first three editions, published by the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in London, were prepared for the design of open-pit mines that were at that time becoming several hundred metres deep as the result of the development of drills, shovels and trucks that made it economically feasible to mine low-grade ore deposits. Open-pit mines are now reaching depths of 1000 metres and new procedures are being used to design slopes for these pits for which the rock mass strength is more important than the geologic structure. These procedures are documented in publications such as the Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design (2009). <...>

Guidelines for Evaluating Water in Pit Slope Stability (the ‘Water Book’) is an outcome of the Large Open Pit (LOP) project, an international research and technology transfer project on the stability of rock slopes in open pit mines. It is a follow-up to Chapter 6 in the LOP project’s previous publication Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design (Read & Stacey, 2009), which outlined how the hydrogeological model is developed and applied in the design of rock slopes. It describes the outcomes of hydrogeological research performed by the LOP project since 2009 and has the objective of providing slope design practitioners with a road map that that will help them decide how to investigate and manage water pressures in pit slopes.
