The relationships between engineering geology, structural geology, strength properties and
failure mechanisms of several large slope failures in western North America are examined …

Abstract The Checkerboard Creek rock slope is located upstream of the Revelstoke
hydroelectric dam, British Columbia, Canada. Annual surface movements of approximately …

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The failure of any particular rock slope can involve a number of
modes including planar sliding, circular sliding, wedge failure, toppling and some …

Summary Toppling Rock Slope Failures—Examples of Analysis and Stabilization Three
case histories of toppling failures of rock slopes, and the methods used to ensure that failure …

This thesis presents the analysis of complex slope deformations through the application of
numerical modelling techniques. Complex slope deformations, in this thesis, include cases …

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Toppling is a mode of failure in rock slopes which has not been
discussed until recently in the literature. A large degree of understanding of the process is …

The toppling of rock slopes is often associated with rock masses with traverse fractures
which produce blocks of dimension not negligible compared with the slope size [1]. This type …

Toppling of rock blocks, individually, or in rock masses of great volume, is now understood to
be an important potential mode of failure for rock slopes. Toppling can also occur in …
