A stability analysis of a laterally confined slope model, lying on an inclined bedding plane,
was presented to evaluate the lateral shear resistance by considering the loading paths and …

The estimation of passive thrust, which causes toe failure when the mass above the toe of a
slope experiences compression due to downslope movement, is necessary for both physical …

Granular materials have a tendency to exhibit an arching effect by which the load is
transferred from yielding parts to adjacent stationary parts. Retaining walls are among those …

The stability of an in-flight undercut slope with a potential failure plane was investigated
under a centrifugal acceleration of 50 g. The experimental results confirmed the formation of …

Slope failures along a bedding plane were critical issues and mostly happened in an open
pit mining project such as the Mae Moh Mine, Thailand. The prediction of maximum width to …

One of the important parameters in undercut slopes design is the determination of the
maximum stable undercut span. The maximum stable undercut span is a function of slope …

The classical textbook “Rock Slope Engineering” by Hoek and Bray (1977, p. 166) states
that,“It is not usual for the toe of a slope to be undercut...”. Therefore, it is of great importance …

One of the most important tasks in designing the undercut slopes is to determine the
maximum stable undercut span to which various parameters such as the shear strength of …

A series of physical modeling tests were conducted by means of a beam type geotechnical
centrifuge machine in order to investigate the drainage impact on the slope failure …

The undercutting method applied together with the cut-and-fill technique has been realized
through open-pit coal mining. To predict the time of slope failure, a method of forecasting …
