Abstract
Considers source evaluation, properties, performance prediction, quarry yields and quarry operations. Describes testing methods to determine properties. Details how to derive hydraulic, geotechnical and ice conditions and summarises data collection. Presents design methods for rock structures in marine and fluvial environments. Covers hydraulic performance, structural stability and geotechnical behaviour. Provides practical guidance for the design of different types of structure using rock. Discusses monitoring techniques, appraisal of structure performance, and repair and construction methods.
