The slope stability has already become one of the most important factors directly related to
the safety production and development of a mine, which is principally controlled by the …

The macro‐micro mining response of the surrounding rock and overlying strata towards the
transformation from open‐pit to underground mining is examined in the present study, based …

In recent years, landslides induced by underground mining have attracted much attention as
they cause great harm and early warning signals are difficult to detect. The key work of the …

The seismic failure of rock slopes is commonly a cumulative damage process; in particular,
local slope damage usually occurs before the occurrence of landslides. The local damage in …

Mining in an open-pit slope results in the deformation and instability of rock masses.
Correspondingly, it is difficult to quantify the range of internal rock mass damage completely …

Underground mining under an open-pit slope results in movement and instability of rock
masses. However, most rock mass movement prediction methodologies are empirical and …

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 …

The stability of jointed rock slopes can be effectively analyzed using the discrete element
method (DEM). However, the criteria for terminating the DEM iterative calculation process …

In order to study the nonlinear creep mechanism of concrete materials, predict and evaluate
the safety of the structure, uniaxial nonlinear creep tests of concrete specimens under …

This paper presents a novel and highly efficient approach for coupling the Discrete Element
Method (DEM) and the Boundary Element Method (BEM) for time-domain simulations of …
