Automated sliding susceptibility mapping of rock slopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceWe present a suite of extensions for ARCVIEW GIS? (ESRI) that allows to map the spatial distribution of first-order mechanical slope-properties in hard rock terrain, e.g. for large slope areas like water reservoir slopes.

Simulation of scree-slope dynamics: Investigating the distribution of debris avalanche events in an idealized two-dimensional model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a two-dimensional model of the development of scree slopes using the discrete-element method. We concentrate on the dynamics of the accumulating debris at the cliff foot rather than on the failure modes of the cliff-face or shape of the ...

Water Quality Survey and Its Application to Rock Slope Management at the Une Mine

open access: yesJournal of MMIJ, 2020
The Une Mine excavates limestone by the bench cut method at Mt. Buko in the Chichibu area of Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Since the final rock slope, which is the largest scale in Japan, is beeing constructed at Mt.

Potential rockfalls and analysis of slope dynamics in the palatine archaeological area (Rome, Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Palatine Hill is among the main archaeological sites of Roman antiquity. Today, this place requires continuous care for its safeguarding and conservation.

Investigating the coupling effects of rainfall intensity and slope inclination on soil-rock mixture slope stability and failure modes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The primary factor influencing slope stability is the variation of internal mechanics within the soil-rock mixture caused by rainfall infiltration. Most existing research has focused on how rock content affects the failure of soil-rock mixture slopes ...

Rockfall hazard and risk assessments along roads at a regional scale: example in Swiss Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Unlike fragmental rockfall runout assessments, there are only few robust methods to quantify rock-mass-failure susceptibilities at regional scale. A detailed slope angle analysis of recent Digital Elevation Models (DEM) can be used to detect potential ...

Rock Slope Instability Mechanism Induced by Repeated Mining in Mountain Mining Areas

open access: yesApplied Sciences
When mineral resources are extracted using underground mining methods in hilly regions, landslides or slope failures can be induced frequently. In this study, slope collapse disasters in mountain mining areas were analyzed.

Relation between Rock Bolt Setting and Shear Strength of Reinforced Ground by Rope Net and Rock Bolt Method(Post-Print version) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many unstable slopes exist about 1000 slope failures each year have occurred in Japan. An about 90% of the failed slope is natural slope having the tree vegetation and the failure occurred in the surface ground within 3 meters in depth. The slope failure

Detection and geometric characterization of rock mass discontinuities using a 3D high-resolution digital outcrop model generated from RPAS imagery – Ormea rock slope, Italy

open access: yesEngineering Geology, 2019
The use of a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) and digital photogrammetry is valuable for the detection of discontinuities in areas where field mapping and terrestrial photogrammetry or laser scanner surveys cannot be employed because the slope is ...

Three-Dimensional Physical and Numerical Modelling of Fracturing and Deformation Behaviour of Mining-Induced Rock Slopes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Fracturing behaviour of jointed rock mass subjected to mining can significantly affect the stability of the rock structures and rock slopes. Ore mining within an open-pit final slope would lead to large-scale strata and surface movement of the rock slope.
