While rock is often the best foundation material it too may need to be stabilized in many engineering problems. Rock stability issues typically include wedge sliding, overturning, slope stability, and rock falls. Because rock mass behavior is mainly controlled by jointing, stability can seldomly be evaluated by simple wedge analyses (except for projects that fall under text-book cases). Hence, experienced engineers employ statistical tools and empirical charts in combination with closed form solutions to come to a solution.

Deep Excavation LLC provides design services for rock stability projects and construction services through our affiliated contractors.
