optimum "safe" cut slope angle together with an appropriate rock fall catchment area. Figure 1illustrates the terms used in a Rock Slope design. Th e cut slope is often referred to as a "cut slope angle", but at MnDOT it is expressed as a slope, vertical to horizontal (for example 2V:1H). The rock catchment areaincludes the flat ditch area

cone penetration test (CPT) is not often used for routine exploration of cut slopes. However, the CPT provides continuous data on the stratigraphic profile and can be used to evaluate in situ strength parameters in very soft to medium stiff cohesive soil and very loose to medium dense sands. 10 .1 .3 .3.

In the two-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element program, Phase2, users can currently define both elastic and plastic (i.e., peak and residual) rock mass properties. When an element

May 15, 2012· The rigid cone model assumes an overburden rock mass above caverns to be a cone shape. According to Littlejohn and Bruce (1975), the cone angle (α) is taken as 30° or 45°. Except for the cone angle, the model does not account for any rock mass strength, so that the rigid-cone concept is very simplistic relative to a real rock mass response.
