Some Remarks on the Use of Deterministic and Probabilistic Approaches in the Evaluation of Rock Slope Stability [PDF]
, 2020 The rock slope stability assessment can be performed by means of deterministic and probabilistic approaches. As the deterministic analysis needs only representative values (generally, the mean value) for each physical and geo-mechanical parameter ...

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.

Motion of rock masses on slopes
Geologija, 2006 This paper shows the different ways of how rock masses (stones, rocks, and blocks) move along slopes and for each different way of motion (free fall, bouncing, rolling, sliding, slowing down, lubrication, fluidization)adequatedynamicequationsaregiven.Knowingthe kinematics and dynamics of travelling rock masses is necessary for mathematical modeling of ...

Analysis of acoustic emission patterns for monitoring of rock slope deformation mechanisms [PDF]
, 2016 Acoustic emission (AE) is generated in soil and rock materials by rearrangement of particles during displacement or increasing damage in the microstructure preceding a collapse; therefore AE is appropriate for estimation of slope degradation. To overcome
