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 …

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 …

Transversely isotropic rock composed of two interbedded layers has been rarely studied,
although landslides frequently occur in bedded rock masses. With reference to the …

Safe mining depth constitutes the key to the open-pit mine development, it is significant to
research the safe mining depth. First, According to the field geological investigation and …

The occurrence and failure mechanisms of flexural toppling must be considered by
researchers and engineers who perform stability analysis of anti-dip rock slope. Taking the …

Block-flexure toppling is the most common toppling mode occurring in interbedded anti-
inclined slopes. With the development of hydropower projects in Southwest China …
