For preventing landslide disasters caused by the slope collapse, it is crucial to research on
the investigation of slope stability. For the very complex influence factors on the slope …

In the framework of designing civil engineering structures such as dams and road
embankments, slope stability assessment is essential. Many slope stability assessment …

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 …

This paper presents a new approach to identify the fully specified representative slip
surfaces (RSSs) of layered soil slopes and to compute their system probability of failure, P f …

Block-flexure toppling is the commonest type of failure in anti-dip bedding rock slopes. In this
work, a new model called the force-transfer model (FTM) for this kind of failure is proposed …

Abstract The Morgenstern-Price (MP) method is an effective solution to compute the factor of
safety (FOS) of a slope against sliding that has been used extensively for decades. In the MP …

In soil slope stability, locating the critical slip surface with the minimum safety factor is a
difficult and complicated optimization problem. Most methods fail when proper bounds are …

In this research, three-dimension finite difference method was applied to simulate the tunnel
excavation by earth pressure balance (EPB) boring machine of Tehran Metro Line 7 tunnel …

The vector-sum method (VSM) is advanced by considering the vector characteristics. As a
cost of this advantage, a predefined global sliding direction is required, which has been a …

Limit equilibrium is a common method used to analyze the stability of a slope, and
minimization of the factor of safety or identification of critical slip surfaces is a classical …
