Characterization of rock slopes through slope mass rating using 3D point clouds [PDF]
Rock mass classification systems are widely used tools for assessing the stability of rock slopes. Their calculation requires the prior quantification of several parameters during conventional fieldwork campaigns, such as the orientation of the ...

Monitoring of Groundwater Behavior with the Rainfall on a Rock Slope by Combination Geophysical Prospecting [PDF]
Generally, the groundwater flow in rock slope depends on the direction for the development of rock joints sets, those are very complicated. It is a very important problem on civil and disaster prevention engineering to grasp the groundwater behavior ...

Most natural rock slope failures result from long-term strength degradation. It is often hypothesized that glacial retreat leads to enhanced progressive damage accumulation in adjacent rock slopes, due to mechanical unloading and changes to the thermal ...

One-dimensional fluid diffusion induced by constant-rate flow injection: Theoretical analysis and application to the determination of fluid permeability and specific storage of a cored rock sample [PDF]
We describe the conceptual design and first application of a new method for simultaneously measuring the fluid permeability and specific storage of a rock sample.

Rock slope stability risks [PDF]
The methodology and factors that impact on rock mass slope stability risks are data collection, processing, reliability and the partitioning of data into domains. This paper discusses the development of statistical models for geological defect and rock mass attributes. Kinematic stability analyses are mandatory to identify slope failure modes. The Hoek–

This chapter introduces major landslide causes and triggers and outlines the principles of slope stability analysis for rock mass. It discusses the slope stability at the project site with considerations of different ground water conditions. Depending on the type of motion, slope failures in rock mass can be classified as rock topples, rock slide and ...
