Features: This book is a systematic summary of the research and engineering application achievements obtained by the research collective of the author's affiliated institution in the process of completing national key research projects and major engineering consulting tasks over the past decade. It comprehensively elaborates on the principles and methods of stability analysis for rock slopes, and introduces relevant programs and usage instructions. The main contents include: methods for geotechnical engineering and overall stability evaluation of slopes, theories and methods for determining the shear strength of rock masses, theories and two-/three-dimensional analysis methods for slope stability limit analysis, optimization methods for determining critical sliding modes, as well as the principles and methods for wedge and toppling analyses of slopes. The book also introduces a query system for a rock mass shear test parameter database with 788 sets of experimental data and a "Hydropower and Water Conservancy Slope Engineering Registration" database containing 115 slope engineering cases. This book is available for researchers, designers, and construction personnel in fields such as water conservancy, hydropower, civil engineering, transportation, and mining.
