Abstract
A series of Casagrande resistance envelopes are presented for use in the preliminary design and evaluation of uniform rock and rockfill slopes. The influence of tension cracks on the safety factors for such slopes is examined. A comparison is also made between the safety factors obtained using the resistance envelope method and those obtained using published stability charts for rockfill slopes having nonlinear shear strength envelopes. Key words: rock, rockfill, slope, stability, Casagrande resistance envelope, safety factor.
