The Transberg method is a geotechnical assessment technique used to evaluate the spatial failure susceptibility and risk of structural geologically adverse rock slopes. Developed by Peter Tran, Mark Sjoberg, Andrew Deac, and Glen Guy, the method integrates geological and geotechnical analysis using three-dimensional (3D) software applications.^[1][2][3]

The process begins with the creation of a photorealistic, georeferenced 3D model of the rock slope. This model is generated using terrestrial imagery (handheld camera) or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery, processed through photogrammetry software.

Structural geological mapping and interpretation are performed on the 3D photogrammetry model. The resulting data are exported and imported into a discrete fracture network (DFN) software application for further analysis.

Critical geotechnical parameters, such as lithology, material properties, and defect shear strength, are defined to create a representative DFN model. Valid rock blocks formed by the intersection of geological structures are identified.

Limit equilibrium method (LEM) stability analysis is applied iteratively to each valid rock block. This analysis incorporates factors such as:

• Material unit weight
• Water pressure
• External loads (e.g. rock bolt support)

Safety factors are calculated for each block to determine stability.

Areas with low safety factors undergo additional assessment through two-dimensional (2D) or 3D rockfall modelling. These simulations predict potential rockfall trajectories and impacts.

The overall geotechnical risk of the slope is determined by combining slope stability analysis results with rockfall simulations. This information is communicated to site personnel including engineers, supervisors, and managers for hazard mitigation.

The Transberg method is primarily applied in:

• Mining operations: Assessing slope stability in open-cut mines.
• Civil engineering projects: Evaluating rock slopes adjacent to roads, railways, and buildings.
• Slope stability studies: Supporting hazard mitigation in areas prone to rockfalls and landslides.
