Slope stability is one of the most important topics of engineering geology with a background
of more than 300 years. So far, various stability assessment techniques have been …

Flexural toppling failure (FTF) is one of the main types of toppling failures and frequently
occurs in anti-inclined rock slopes. A new UDEC Trigon approach for simulating FTF of a …

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 …

This paper presents the results of an investigation of the Gongjiafang landslide with the
volume of about 500,000 m 3 in the Three Gorges Reservoir region (TGR), occurred on 23 …

In recent years, massive interbedded sandstone and slate anti-dip slopes have been
discovered in the southwest and northwest regions of China. The distinct mechanical …

A large-scale rockslide, developed from a deep-seated toppling failure, occurred in October
2018 following reservoir impoundment in the upper Lancang River, Southwest China. The …

Flexural toppling failure is a widespread issue in anti-dip bedding rock slopes. Rock bolts
are usually employed to reinforce bedding rock slopes as they are low-cost and efficient. In …

Block-flexure toppling failure is frequently encountered in rock slopes. In this paper, we first
proposed two theoretical models to calculate the factor of safety against block-flexure …

Toppling is a mode of failure that may occur in a wide range of layered rock strata in rock
slopes. According to the results of physical model tests and field investigations of anti …

Circular failure is one of the most probable instabilities on slopes with severely crushed rock
or soil slopes. Another type of instability is block–flexural toppling, which is the most …
