Rock Slope Engineering

Rock slope engineering is a field that focuses on understanding and managing the stability of natural or man-made slopes made of rock. It involves assessing how factors like geology, weather, and human activities can affect the safety of these slopes. Engineers use techniques such as monitoring, reinforcement, and design modifications to prevent landslides or failures. This discipline is crucial for ensuring the safety of infrastructure like roads, tunnels, and buildings located near steep rock faces, protecting both people and property from potential hazards associated with unstable rock formations.
