Regarding the geotechnical aspects, it is very important to correctly estimate a slope's safety
factor against failure. Slope failures, in general, cost a lot of money, hinder transportation …

Landslides cause fatalities, widespread damages and economic losses. Quite frequently,
they are triggered by rainfall. Many studies have investigated the relationships between …

Due to rock masses' nonlinear failure property, it is inappropriate to investigate the stability
of rock slopes using the traditional SRM (strength reduction method) which is based on the …

A failure criterion fully considering the anisotropy and hydration of shale is essential for
shale formation stability evaluation. Thus, a novel failure criterion for hydration shale is …

Red clay, an easily cracking lateritic soil, is extensively distributed in southern China.
Cracked red clay slopes often show shallow failures under rainfall, which is challenging to …

An artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the stability of rectangular tunnels in
rock masses based on the Hoek–Brown (HB) failure criterion is presented in this study …

The strength reduction method (SRM) combining with the Generalized Hoek-Brown (GHB)
criterion has become a widely used means to assess the stability of rock slopes. Therefore …

This paper presents a novel approach (Y-slope) to simulate entire slope failure processes,
from initiation, transport to deposition. The algorithm is implemented in a combined finite …

In this paper, two-dimensional ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB-PD) plastic model is
coupled mechanically with the Drucker-Prager (DP) criterion, aiming at numerically …

This paper presents new plasticity stability solutions of unsupported conical rock slopes,
obeying generalised Hoek-Brown failure criterion. To solve the problem, a finite element …
