Anisotropic spatial variability of soil properties is frequently encountered in geotechnical
engineering practice due to the complex depositional process. To quantitatively evaluate the …

Coupled fluid–solid phase continuum problems associated with large deformation as
geotechnics experts encounter in slope stability problems have been extensively reviewed …

This study aims to investigate the effects of different map** unit scales and study area
scales on the uncertainty rules of landslide susceptibility prediction (LSP). To illustrate …

A series of uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were performed on slate samples with
different diameters at different foliation orientations with respect to the direction of the major …

Earthquakes are one of the most significant external factors that induce the failure of anti-dip
bedding rock slopes (ABRSs). The pseudo-static method is currently (and is likely to remain …

The mined underground space is formed by the exploitation of resources and minerals. On
the basis of review analysis of experiences of utilization of mined underground space over …

Shear failure of rock masses along pre-existing discontinuities is one of the predominant
failure modes of rock slopes and underground tunnels. The monitoring and prediction of the …

Flexural toppling is a quite complex and common failure mode of anti-dip bedding rock
slopes (ABRSs), since it involves not only deformation of the intact rock but also sliding or …

Flexural toppling is a common mode of instability of anti-dip bedding rock slopes. However,
there is currently no theoretical method available for determining the failure surface …

Bi-planar sliding is one of the main instabilities in over dip rock slope. The geometry and
strength of the bi-planar sliding surface comprised of two sets of cross-discontinuities play …
