Abstract
This chapter presents stabilisation practices for rock slopes. Stabilisation processes can be divided into two groups:
-
1.
Techniques which attempt to fix loose blocks in place by rock anchoring or bolting to avoid their fall;
-
2.
Techniques that do not prevent loose blocks from falling, but attempt to reduce the risk of rockfall reaching permanent structures or roads.
