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 …

A series of uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were performed on slate samples with
different diameters at different foliation orientations with respect to the direction of the major …

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 …

The mined underground space is formed by the exploitation of resources and minerals. On
the basis of review analysis of experiences of utilization of mined underground space over …

Shear failure of rock masses along pre-existing discontinuities is one of the predominant
failure modes of rock slopes and underground tunnels. The monitoring and prediction of the …

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 …

Bi-planar sliding is one of the main instabilities in over dip rock slope. The geometry and
strength of the bi-planar sliding surface comprised of two sets of cross-discontinuities play …

Many landslide events occur during or immediately after rainfall, which is one of the main
factors that induce slope instability. In this study, a physical model test was conducted to …

The existence of bedding planes in rock materials has an obvious impact on the material
mechanical properties and the failure process of engineering projects. In this study, a series …
