Abstract: This paper evaluates the recent developments in generalized Continuous Slope Mass Rating (CSMR) research. A modified CSMR method that considering the disturbance effects on the rock slides was proposed. This modified CSMR method has a better characterization of the geological conditions in rock slides. A typical rock slide site is evaluated with this modified CSMR method as a case history and the results are compared with the geotechnical investigation results. In the evaluation, relationships between the Stability Coefficient, Ks, and CSMR are applied. These results indicate that the modified method is appropriate in the rock slide evaluations.

Key words: Modified CSMR Method, Rock Slide, Stability Evaluations, Applicability
