Werka descent road lies at western region of Saudi Arabia. The slope faces get damaged due to rainstorm and absence of remedial measures. Werka mountainous road is subjected to failures of man-made rock slope faces, along both sides of 8-m wide road. Intensive geotechnical study includes the application of RMR and GSI rock mass classification system which indicates that the rocks are of medium to poor quality. The integrated techniques such as graphical method, modeling, and simulation were utilized to assess rock slope failures by using DIPS, RocPlane and Swedge programs, and the remedial measures for failures were recommended. Debris flows from higher elevation were a result of the weathering process and poor rock quality. A manmade slope cut was studied and modeled utilizing the integrated techniques. The analyses indicate that the intensity of rainfall, joint sets attitudes, slope face attitudes, J v , block size, block shape, and specific gravity are the main factors in rock slope failure problems.
