Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

Toppling is a widespread failure mode in natural and excavated anaclinal rock slopes and
threatens the construction and operation of important infrastructure such as hydropower and …

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 …

A large-scale rockslide, developed from a deep-seated toppling failure, occurred in October
2018 following reservoir impoundment in the upper Lancang River, Southwest China. The …

The toppling failure of anti-dip rock slopes is significantly affected by crack propagation from
non-persistent cross-joints (NPCJs). In this study, a strength-based localized maximum …

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 …

Primary toppling usually occurs in layered rock slopes with large anti-dip angles. In this
paper, the block toppling evolution was explored using a large-scale centrifuge system …

In this study, randomly distributed fiber reinforcement on the desiccation cracking behavior
of expansive clay was investigated. Modeling considerations for the desiccation cracking …

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 …

Block-flexure toppling failures in interbedded anti-inclined rock (IAR) slopes present
significant risks to infrastructure and safety. Based on the Linda landslide field …
