Toppling is a mode of failure that may occur in a wide range of layered rock strata in rock
slopes. According to the results of physical model tests and field investigations of anti …

Flexural toppling is one of the main failure modes of natural and manmade anti-dip layered
rock slopes. Based on cantilever slab tensile theory, the failure mechanism of flexural …

When a slope consists of a horizontal weak rock or soil overlaid by some vertical strong
slender rock columns, the slope is prone to a secondary toppling failure which is known as …

A solution is developed, based on a limit equilibrium approach, for analysing the toppling
stability of rock slopes, which are characterized by blocks whose thickness is significantly …

Toppling is a mode of slope instability that may occur in a wide range of layered or blocky
rock masses. If this instability is caused by some natural or man-made external factors, it is …

Block-flexure is the most common type of toppling failure in rock slopes. In this case, some
rock blocks fail due to tensile bending stresses and some overturn under their own weights …

Flexural toppling is a common mode of instability of anti-dip bedding rock slopes. However,
there is currently no theoretical method available for determining the failure surface …

Block-flexure is the most common mode of toppling failure in natural and excavated rock
slopes. In such failure, some rock blocks break due to tensile stresses and some overturn …

In rock slopes where sedimentary rock masses dip into the face of the slope, failure may
occur by block toppling. In traditional analytical models, the failure surface is assumed to be …

Toppling failure is a common mode of instability in layered and blocky rock slopes where
rock blocks rotate about their toes and overturn. One of the most important types of toppling …
