Rock slopes are usually reinforced by a number of rock bolts due to the high efficiency and
low price. However, where should the rock bolts be installed is still a troublesome issue. For …

The anti-dip rock slopes are common geological features in Taiwan, and the failure of this
type of rock slope is prone to be triggered by seismic loads. Thus, it is important to …

Stability prediction of rock slopes under seismic loads is important for landslide hazard
assessment. For this work we designed and built a model of a slope with a middle locked …

Slide-head toppling is a secondary toppling failure involving toppling of rock blocks at the
top of a slope and sliding of blocks around the toe of the slope. The toppling or sliding is …

As one of the primary failure modes in the anti-dip soft rock slope, the research of flexural
toppling is mainly focused on the deformation and failure mechanism. To recreate the whole …

Rock slopes with weak intercalated layers could experience disturbance from various deep
mining activities; however, their dynamic stability has not been thoroughly investigated. In …

As a result of the influence of plate movement, the upper reaches of Jinsha River have
strong geological tectonic activities, large topographic fluctuations, and complex climate …

The purpose of this study is to identify the leading causes of slope instability along a local
highway in Anhui, People's Republic of China. As part of the east expansion project, the …

Pre-stressed cables were found to be a viable approach of reinforcing anti-dip bedding rock
slopes (ABRSs) in the Wenchuan earthquake. However, the dynamic response law and …

Earthquakes are a major external factor that induce landslides. In order to systematically
study the dynamic effects and failure mechanism of anti-dip bedding rock slopes (the slope …
