Slope stability is one of the most important topics of engineering geology with a background
of more than 300 years. So far, various stability assessment techniques have been …

Slope instability on several sections of the Gerese-Belta route in Southern Ethiopia poses a
major risk to infrastructure and safety. This research was aimed at evaluating certain areas …

Mudurnu is a county of Bolu Province, in Turkey, that was historically located on major trade
routes (ie, the Silk Road and the Crimean Road) and served as a trading town and military …

During the monsoon season, landslides are common in mountainous areas, disrupting
transportation and day-to-day activities. The stability of slopes along rock cuts on …

Substantial non-persistent fractures remarkably influence the stability analysis of rock
slopes. However, their full consideration and three-dimensional (3D) analysis is often …

Landslides are frequent and devastating geological hazards that cause significant economic
and human losses annually. The selection of appropriate shear strength parameters is …

The stability analysis of homogeneous rock slope following the Hoek–Brown failure criterion
under the hypothesis of different flow rules is performed based on limit equilibrium and finite …

To improve the probability analysis efficiency of slope, this paper proposes an improved
particle swarm optimization (IPSO) method to determine the critical sliding surface (CSS) …

Abstract In this paper, Hoek–Brown (HB) failure criterion in combination with kinematic
approach of limit analysis is employed to develop an upper bound solution to the factor of …

The formation of geotechnical structures on foundations composed of low-strength soils is
associated with a number of risks and difficulties. Soils such as clay-salt slurries are …
