Characterization of rock slopes through slope mass rating using 3D point clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...

Development and Optimization of an Automated Fixed-Location Time Lapse Photogrammetric Rock Slope Monitoring System

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
An automated, fixed-location, time lapse camera system was developed as an alternative to monitoring geological processes with lidar or ground-based interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (GB-InSAR).

Application of analogous models in civil engineering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The paper describes the results of making the mathematical and physical models of the authors, by using analogous methods and materials. There is the mathematical rock mass deformability model as a base for foundation engineering a concrete arch dam ...

Monitoring of Groundwater Behavior with the Rainfall on a Rock Slope by Combination Geophysical Prospecting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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 ...

Borehole monitoring of thermo-hydro-mechanical rock slope processes adjacent to an actively retreating glacier

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...

Rock slope stability risks [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the First Asia Pacific Slope Stability in Mining Conference, 2016
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–

Rock slope stability

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...
