| Summary |
|---|
The students will gain the knowledge of the most important factors influencing
the stability of rock and soil slopes. The methods of calculation methods of
stability control are discussed, as well as the monitoring and procedures, that can be used for regaining the stability of disturbed rock bodies. |
