Soft-hard interbedded structures are commonly found in anti-dip rock slopes and endow the
slopes with special properties. In this work, a simple two-beam model was first used to …

Flexural toppling often occurs in layered rock slopes, and rock columns behave like inclined
superimposed cantilever beams that bend under their own weight. However, anti-dip rock …

The soft-hard interbedded anti-dip rock slopes (SHIADRS) are unique among all layered
rock slopes, as the mechanical properties of hard and soft rock layers are completely …

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 …

Flexural toppling failure (FTF) is one of the main types of toppling failures and frequently
occurs in anti-inclined rock slopes. A new UDEC Trigon approach for simulating FTF of a …

In recent years, massive interbedded sandstone and slate anti-dip slopes have been
discovered in the southwest and northwest regions of China. The distinct mechanical …

Flexural toppling failure is a common failure mode of natural and artificial rock slopes, which
has caused serious damage to human life and property. In this work, an advanced numerical …

Antidip bedding rock slopes always contain a developed set of joints that dip into the free
surface; however, sometimes they have some gently inclined cross joints, and the …

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 …

Flexural toppling is a quite complex and common failure mode of anti-dip bedding rock
slopes (ABRSs), since it involves not only deformation of the intact rock but also sliding or …
