The effect of geometrical parameters on wedge failure of rock slopes using physical and numerical modelling

This study investigated the role of the geometrical parameters of a wedge block on its stability using physical and numerical modeling. For the purpose of physical modeling, a new experimental setup was developed, and the stability of rock slopes was modeled. Sensitivity analysis was performed on fo...
