Rock mass characterization requires a deep geometric understanding of the discontinuity sets affecting rock exposures. Recent advances in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) …
Every engineering structure, whether it's a building, bridge or road, is affected by the ground on which it is built. Geology is of fundamental importance when deciding on the location and …
Landslide studies are commonly guided by ground knowledge and field measurements of rock strength and slope failure criteria. With increasing sophistication of GIS-based statistical …

The stability of rock slopes is considered crucial to public safety in highways passing through rock cuts, as well as to personnel and equipment safety in open pit mines. Slope …
This work develops a rock mass characterization of a limestone quarry in northern Spain based on a 3D model obtained by using photographs taken from an unmanned aerial …
L Pantelidis - International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining …, 2009 - Elsevier
Over the last several decades, rock mass classification systems have been proposed in order that cuttings at high risk for failure be identified, and preventive measures be …
This paper uses numerical limit analysis to produce stability charts for rock slopes. These charts have been produced using the most recent version of the Hoek–Brown failure …
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications have introduced transformative possibilities within geohazard analysis, particularly concerning the assessment of rock slope instabilities. This …
