Traditional indexes like stress, strain, and displacement can only represent local scale
evolutionary characteristics of toppling deformation. The energy can represent not only the …

For the widespread exposure of toppling deformation phenomena in anti-dip engineering
slopes such as hydropower, transportation, and mining, especially deep-seated toppling …

Counter-tilt layered rock slopes are common types of slopes that are susceptible to
destabilizing damage under seismic action. Therefore, the dynamic response law of counter …

The failure mechanism of hard anti-inclined bedded rock slopes with the possibility of
undergoing flexural toppling is very complex so that it is difficult to effectively perform their …

This paper presents the analyses of toppling response of layered reverse-dip slopes under
the influence of geometric factors of slope angle, strata thickness and dip. The toppling …

One of the most conventional toppling instabilities is the block-flexural toppling failure that
occurs in civil and mining engineering projects. In this kind of failure, some rock columns are …

In situ stress is a significant characteristic of underground rock masses. In this work, based
on the time-domain recursive method (TDRM), a new theoretical approach is proposed to …

In this paper, an upper bound limit analysis for 3D slope stability analysis based on rigid
block structure (SLU-3D) is proposed. Specifically, a slope is discretized into a range of rigid …

The failure mechanism analysis of dam foundations is key for designing hydropower
stations. This study analyses the rock masses in a sluice section, which is an important part …

The study has presented a sensitivity analysis of a rock mass prone to toppling due to the
variation of the strength parameters. The data from the Lornex pit at the Highland Valley …
