Toppling is a widespread failure mode in natural and excavated anaclinal rock slopes and
threatens the construction and operation of important infrastructure such as hydropower and …

Soft-hard interbedded structures are commonly found in anti-dip rock slopes and endow the
slopes with special properties. In this work, a simple two-beam model was first used to …

Block-flexure toppling failures in interbedded anti-inclined rock (IAR) slopes present
significant risks to infrastructure and safety. Based on the Linda landslide field …

Toppling of individual rock blocks resting on an inclined surface has often been observed in
nature. This instability mechanism has typically been analysed for simple block geometries …

Antidip bedding rock slopes always contain a developed set of joints that dip into the free
surface; however, sometimes they have some gently inclined cross joints, and the …

Classifying excavation-induced slopes considering the arching effect and understating the
features are crucial for determining the appropriate designs for excavation, assessing the …

The foundation of a large river crossing bridge is often located on high and steep slopes in
mountainous area, and the stability of the slope has a significant impact on the safety of the …

A massive toppling failure occurred at the edge of the Furnas Reservoir at 12: 30 (UTC-03)
on 8 January 2022, in Brazil. The toppling belongs to single-block toppling with a volume of …

In the southwestern mountainous regions of China, slope toppling failures are prevalent in
engineering construction and disaster mitigation, influenced by critical geological …

The granite blocks are widely distributed on granite residual soil slopes, particularly in the
circumstances of humid granitic terrain. These blocks may be partially buried in the soil …
