Rock mass strength as a control of slope development : evidence from Southern Africa

Auteur :
MOON, B. P.

Description :
Rock Mass Strenght (RMS) theory is examined to quantify some of the factors involved in the development slope angles. Contrasting slope development profiles are related to RMS ratings and critical levels are identified. Classic slope decline and parallel retreat theories are re-examined. - (AJC)
