A critical aspect of rock engineering modelling and rock engineering design is ensuring that
all the necessary variables have been included and that the interactions between them are …

A new Mine Slope Instability Index (MSII) to assess the (in) stability conditions of slopes in
open-pit mining is presented. Eighteen parameters that can be easily obtained and rated in …

The stability of the tunnel face is one of the most critical issues having to be secured for a
successful tunneling practice. It becomes more crucial for the tunneling in an urban …

A probabilistic expert semi-quantitative (PESQ) coding methodology is employed to assess
the importance of factors that affect the stability of rock slopes within the rock engineering …

Indirect test methods are usually the preferred approach for determining the tensile strength
of brittle and quasi-brittle materials such as ceramics, rocks, and concrete. In this paper, the …

The purpose of this study is to present a weighting method, integrating subjective weight
with objective weight, for landslides susceptibility mapping based on geographical …

Catastrophic landslides maybe occur in rock slope due to the effect of strong earthquakes or
heavy rainfall. The stability of rock slope is usually controlled by different scales of weak …

ABSTRACT A new rock burst damage scale index (RDSI) based on the Rock Engineering
Systems paradigm and on a BP-ANN is proposed. Seven parameters that are likely to affect …

Landslide susceptibility mapping is an important tool for disaster management and
development activities such as planning of transportation infrastructure, settlement and …

Coastal environments are highly recognized for their spectacular morphological features
and economic activities, such as agriculture, maritime traffic, fishing, and tourism. In the …
