Stabilization of some rockslides in Grainger County, Tennessee

Abstract

Slides in dipping Cambrian sandstone, resulting from highway relocation along Norris Reservoir, have been stabilized by the use of steel dowels and concrete anchor blocks. Geologic conditions favored this type of treatment, as sliding took place in thin shales between thick sandstone beds.
