About The Author

Duncan C. Wyllie

Duncan C. Wyllie

Dr. Duncan Wyllie is President of Wyllie & Norrish Rock Engineers based in Vancouver, Canada. He has been working exclusively in the field of applied rock engineering for almost fifty years, initially in underground and open pit mining and then in civil engineering. He has worked on slope, tunnel, landslide, blasting and foundation projects throughout North America, as well as in such countries as India, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Turkey and Peru. The major portion of this work is for highways, railways and power projects, and involves both new construction and the evaluation and remediation of existing slopes and tunnels. Duncan is also the author of Rock Fall Engineering (2014) and Foundations on Rock (1999), both published by CRC Press. He has prepared manuals on rock slope engineering for the Federal Highway Administration, and taught about 80 courses throughout the U.S. for the National Highway Institute in Washington D.C.

Rock Slope Engineering: Civil Applications 5th edition (PDF) covers the design, investigation, excavation, and remediation of man-made rock cuts and natural slopes, primarily for civil engineering applications. It presents design information on structural geology, shear strength of rock, and groundwater, including weathered rock. Slope design methods are discussed for planar, circular, wedge, and toppling failures, including seismic design and numerical analysis. Information is also provided on slope stabilization, blasting, movement monitoring, and civil engineering applications.

This 5th edition has been extensively up-dated, with new chapters on weathered rock, including shear strength in relation to weathering grades, and seismic design of rock slopes for pseudo-static stability and Newmark displacement. It now includes the use of remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR to monitor slope movement and collect structural geology data. The chapter on numerical analysis has been revised with an emphasis on civil applications.

The etextbook is written for practitioners working in the fields of energy and industrial development, transportation, and graduate and undergraduate level courses in geological engineering.
