A knowledge of permeability is required to accurately assess and/or predict seepage conditions within a rock mass. This report reviews techniques available for measuring rock mass permeability and provides guidance concerning their application and interpretation. In seepage analyses, the rock mass is commonly modeled as an equivalent porous continuum (i.e. the continuum approach) with seepage governed by the familiar Darcy's law, a linear relationship between flow velocity and hydraulic gradient.

Deals with the methods of assessing the stability of rock slopes and the techniques of improving the stability conditions of natural and artificial slopes which are at risk. It also describes survey and measurement methods to model the behaviour of rock masses.
