Deterioration of excavated rockslopes : mechanisms, morphology and assessment

Results are reported of laboratory simulated weathering processes on a range of sedimentary rocks and the investigation of the deterioration of rock masses as observed on engineered and quarried rockslopes. The simulated weathering processes include freeze-thaw, wetting and drying, salt weathering a...
