A number of methods currently exist for the analysis and design of slopes. This book provides a critical review of these and offers several more appropriate approaches for …
This paper describes recent advances in stability analysis that combine the limit theorems of classical plasticity with finite elements to give rigorous upper and lower bounds on the …

The majority of slope stability analyses performed in practice still use traditional limit equilibrium approaches involving methods of slices that have remained essentially …
The stability of rock slopes is an important issue in both civil and mining engineering. On civil projects, rock cuts must be safe from rock falls and large-scale slope instability during …

THE EXPLICIT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD Factors of safety are computed using the explicit±finite±difference code, FLAC (Itasca Consult-ing Group, 1995). For given element …
Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design is a comprehensive account of the open pit slope design process. Created as an outcome of the Large Open Pit (LOP) project, an international …
