Design Practices for Rock Slopes and Rockfall Management
While there are no national standards for rock slope design and rockfall management, many state
departments of transportation (DOTs) have developed their own design goals and objectives.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 588: Design Practices for Rock Slopes and Rockfall Management
documents DOT practices for the design of rock slopes and
rockfall mitigation systems.
