Anisotropic spatial variability of soil properties is frequently encountered in geotechnical
engineering practice due to the complex depositional process. To quantitatively evaluate the …

Coupled fluid–solid phase continuum problems associated with large deformation as
geotechnics experts encounter in slope stability problems have been extensively reviewed …

Earthquakes are one of the most significant external factors that induce the failure of anti-dip
bedding rock slopes (ABRSs). The pseudo-static method is currently (and is likely to remain …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Currently, numerical-simulation-based slope reliability analysis (NSB-SRA) considering
spatial variability is still a time-consuming task. To address this problem, this study proposed …

Based on the minimum potential energy principle, a novel method is proposed to determine
the global sliding direction (GSD), the critical slip surface and the corresponding safety factor …

This paper proposes an analytical approach for assessing rock slope stability based on a
three-dimensional (3D) Hoek–Brown (HB) criterion to consider the effects of intermediate …

The mechanics of rock masses in cold regions have attracted the attention of researchers
from all over the world, and the concern here is that the mechanical properties of rock …
