To investigate the stability of a soil-rock-mixture (SRM) slope subjected to sequential
excavation, two modifications are made to the numerical manifold method (NMM). One …

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 …

The depths of open-pit mines have been increasing in the last few decades. This
transformation generates a vast amount of waste rock material per unit mining area …

In order to carry out stability analysis of soil-rock-mixture (SRM) slopes, an improved
numerical manifold method (NMM) with multiple layers of mathematical cover systems is …

Dynamics of the widespread saturated and semi-saturated soil–rock mixtures (SRMs) are of
importance in practical engineering. In this paper, a numerical manifold model is presented …

The differences in geomechanical properties and the uncertainty in the spatial distribution of
Bimrock pose significant challenges to the construction and disaster prediction of …

A new technique for establishing material point method (MPM) models of soil–rock mixture
slopes was proposed to accurately analyze the large-deformation failure mechanisms of soil …

This study aimed to investigate the stability of multi-stage drained and undrained slopes
considering the spatial variability in soil properties. A bivariate random field was adopted to …

A systematic hybrid modelling approach for heterogeneous geomaterials with irregular block
inclusions is creatively developed based on a deep learning technique, computational …

A 3D stability analysis is essential in slope designs, since it is more in line with real situation,
and can provide more reasonable results than a 2D analysis. A numerical model termed as …
