Stability monitoring of high Alpine infrastructure by terrestrial laser scanning [PDF]
International audienceRock mass movements are dominant in the morphodynamics of high Alpine rock slopes and are at the origin of significant risks for people who attend these areas and for infrastructures that are built on (e.g. huts, cable cars).

Rock Slopes from Mechanics to Decision Making [PDF]
http://lmrwww.epfl.ch/Eurock/Eurock2010/files/papers%20grouped.pdfRock slope instabilities are discussed in the context of decision making for risk assessment and management. Hence, the state of the slope and possible failure mechanism need to be defined

Application of Polymer Curing Agent in Ecological Protection Engineering of Weak Rock Slopes
Under the action of water, weak rock slopes easily expand and the strength and stiffness decrease, which results in slope instability. The styrene–acrylic emulsion cement-matrix composite, a new type of polymer curing agent, was developed for the ...

Soil-Rock Slope Stability Analysis under Top Loading considering the Nonuniformity of Rocks
Soil-rock slopes are widely distributed in central or western China. With the development of transportation, many subgrades are being built on mountainsides and therefore, slope stability has to be estimated under high loadings.
