Landslides are serious geohazards that occur under a variety of climatic conditions and can
cause many casualties and significant economic losses. Centrifuge modelling, as a …

Granular materials used in engineering structures tend to experience arching under different
geotechnical factors. Arching is a factor of load transfer from the destroyed zone to stable …

Toppling failure is a common mode of instability in layered and blocky rock slopes where
rock blocks rotate about their toes and overturn. One of the most important types of toppling …

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 …

Stabilizing piles are considered a prevailing and very effective method of reinforcing slopes.
Considering the widespread application of stabilizing piles, many recent studies are devoted …

The stability of an arching slope in deformable materials above strong rocks strongly
depends on the shape and width of the span. Equations for a free surface problem that …

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

The paper presents the effect of the dip of joints, joint spacing, and the undercutting method
on the height of the caving in block caving. The obtained results show that among the three …

Understanding the failure process of bottom-saturated loess slopes is of great significance in
loess areas where flood irrigation is commonly utilized to alleviate the scarcity of …
