Abstract:Due to the disturbed rock mass and topographic conditions caused by earthworks, slopes are highly susceptible to weathering. During and just after the earthworks of a slope, the exposed rock material and mass may be subject to weathering and erosion. They may erode and alter the rock's engineering properties and the stability of the slope over the rock's engineering lifetime. This study examined the effects of weathering on the stability of two cut slopes in Phyllite, Meta-Arenite, and Granite from Pergau, Kel… Show more
