Abstract
Different types of rock slides and toppling failure modes can occur in rock slope. Structural geological controls, rainfall, groundwater and earthquakes are among the factors that can contribute or triggers these rock slope failure modes. Scale (geological structure and slope), time, and damage can also play a role in the development of rock slides and topples. Rock slope analysis methods used for rock slides and topples are summarized with examples, including initial stereographic kinematic analysis, 2D/3D limit equilibrium analysis, and 2D/3D continuum, discontinuum and hybrid-lattice spring modelling.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
