The Importance of Rock Mass Damage in the Kinematics of Landslides
Geosciences, 2023 The stability and kinematics of rock slopes are widely considered to be functions of lithological, structural, and environmental features. Conversely, slope damage features are often overlooked and considered as byproducts of slope deformation.

Failure of Rock Slope with Heterogeneous Locked Patches: Insights from Numerical Modelling
Applied Sciences, 2021 Rock slope stability is commonly dominated by locked patches along a potential slip surface. How naturally heterogeneous locked patches of different properties affect the rock slope stability remains enigmatic.

Thermal response of jointed rock masses inferred from infrared thermographic surveying (Acuto test-site, Italy) [PDF]
, 2018 The Mediterranean region is affected by considerable daily and seasonal temperature variations due to intense solar radiation. In mid-seasons, thermal excursions can exceed tens of degrees thus influencing the long-term behaviour of jointed rock masses ...
