Wedge failure analysis of anchored rock slopes subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
… 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 present work focuses on the study of the wedge failure, which occurs as sliding of a mass of rock on two intersecting …

Site characterization using drone based photogrammetry
… Colorado. The purpose of these surveys was for failure surface identification of a historic wedge failure, structural domain segregation of the remaining rock slope, and rock mass characterization of the segregated structural domains. The study site is composed of a heavily jointed interlayered …

Quantifying the compressive ductility of concrete in RC members through shear friction mechanics.
… cylinders. Importantly, two distinct cylinder failure modes have been identified and examined: that of the circumferential wedge that is common in standard cylinders with aspect ratios of 2:1; and that of the single sliding plane that occurs at higher aspect ratios. It shows the mechanics …

Improved quarry design using deterministic and probabilistic techniques
… quarries were mapped to determine specific slope failure mechanisms for the various geological and structural conditions. Wedge failure and plane failure were determined to be the most influential mechanisms. Algorithms for analyzing these mechanisms were incorporated into the software package …

Rating Rockfall Hazard in Tennessee
… The Tennessee RHRS uses standard rock slope failure mechanisms (planar failure, wedge failure, topple failure, differential weathering, and raveling) along with the site and roadway geometry to assess the rockfall hazard of an individual slope. This study suggests methods that will expedite …
