A New Assessment Method for Structural-Control Failure Mechanisms in Rock Slopes — Case Examples

A New Assessment Method for Structural-Control Failure Mechanisms in Rock Slopes — Case Examples

Mass movement processes of bedrock slopes are highly dependent on the orientations of structural discontinuities within the rock mass. The associated hazards are typically defined by the orientation of structures and associated mechanisms of slope failure such as planar sliding, wedge sliding and to...
