Abstract
The civil engineer and the geologist are very much concerned with rock
slopes because
they may be called upon to build and maintain safe, economical and useful
structures
even on hasardous ground. Such a task requires not only proficiency and a
thorough
understanding of the factors involved, but also intuition and experience.
It should not be
thought, however, that there is always a feasible solution or if there is
one it should be pushed through at all cost
