The significant difference between the mechanical properties of soft rock and hard rock
results in the complexity of the failure mode of the anti-dip layered slope with soft and hard …

Determining the quantitative values of geosites, which constitute the primary supply sources
of geotourism, has an important role in develo** geotourism. For this reason, the number …

The toppling failure of anti-dip rock slopes is significantly affected by crack propagation from
non-persistent cross-joints (NPCJs). In this study, a strength-based localized maximum …

A common instability in the rock slopes is a toppling failure. If this type of slope failure occurs
due to another kind of failure, it is considered as the secondary toppling failure. A type of …

Anchored bolts are well known as an effective measure to support the rock masses, after all
with stiff steel bolts being inserted into them. Although numerous researches have been …

Undercutting anchors are structural elements used in construction and geotechnics to
stabilize both structures and soils. Their main applications include stabilizing slopes and …

There are several definitions of the factor of safety used to quantitatively characterize slope
or landslide stability, which can yield varying results. A comprehensive comparison of the …

Buttressing is a widely employed control measure for mitigating slope failure in various
settings such as open pit mines, road sections, dams, and hilly or rocky terrains. This paper …

Engineering design in soft rocks and its stability analysis exerts many challenges to rock
engineers. Many engineering works in Turkey's Cappadocia region must face and tackle the …

Stability assessments of block-flexural toppling failure using limit equilibrium methods are
significantly affected by the assumption of a single overall failure surface, and the joint …
