GEO4180 Part 2 Rajeeth

This document discusses various methods for modifying slope geometry and stability. It describes: 1. Factors that affect slope stability such as the resisting and driving forces and how the factor of safety is used to evaluate stability. 2. Common modification methods like removing soil/rock mass from the slope through excavation or bench cutting, or adding stabilizing materials like buttresses or lightweight fill. 3. Specific techniques for removing rock mass including handwork, mechanical devices, and blasting, and factors to consider for each method.
