Wedge failure analysis of anchored rock slopes subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
… always a problem of great concern. Because the rock mass behavior is significantly governed by the presence of joints or other discontinuities, several types of slope failure, such as plane failure, wedge failure, toppling failure, buckling failure and circular failure, are often observed. The …

Stability analysis of anchored rock slopes against plane failure subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
The stability analysis of rock slopes has been a challenging task for engineers because the rock mass constituting the slope often has discontinuities in various forms, resulting in different types of slope failures. The plane failure is one of the rock slope failures observed in field situations …

Design parameters and management strategies of soil and rock slopes: Nchanga open pit-Konkola copper mines plc
Rock slope stability is a very important research area for many geo-engineers concerned with civil or mining works. Slope stability of pits, roads, tailings dams and other embankments is very cardinal as it directly impacts on the working or utilisation of these facilities. The Nchanga Open Pit has …

Rating Rockfall Hazard in Tennessee
Rockfall from rock slopes adjacent to roadways is a major hazard and poses a problem for transportation agencies across the country. The state of Tennessee has implemented the Tennessee Rockfall Management System (RMS) as a means of reducing the liabilities associated with rockfall hazard. It …

An Assessment of Rockfall Triggers and Seasonal Weather Trends Through An Examination of Railway Slope Management Procedures
Rockfalls are one of the many geohazards that impact railways across Canada with the potential to cause operational delays, damage to infrastructure and the environment, and injury or loss of life. To minimize the risk associated with these scenarios, railways rely on slope management systems that …

Rockslope and landslide monitoring using high temporal resolution terrestrial structure from motion photogrammetry: a case study of a landslide in Majes zone, Peru using multi-epoch photogrammetric techniques
Monitoring the movement of landslides and rock slopes is critical when there is potential for injury of persons or damage to property or infrastructure. There has been extensive research into the processes that drive slope movements, but most have been based on monitoring data that is either …
