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 …

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 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 …

Toppling is a kind of failure mode that commonly exists in anti-dip rock slopes. Toppling
deformation has a great influence on the stability of rock slopes, which often leads to …

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 …

Most of the toppling deformations exposed in western China have soft-hard interlayer
structures. The maximum depth even reaches 300 m. In order to further explore the toppling …

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 …

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 …

Anti-dip rock slopes are widely developed and distributed in the Three Rivers basin in
China, and associated deformation and damage phenomena are especially prominent …

The phenomenon of toppling deformation and failure is ubiquitous in layered anti-dip rock
slope. In this paper, the development process of toppling deformation and failure is …
