Automated sliding susceptibility mapping of rock slopes [PDF]
, 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.

Mechanisms of rockmass behaviour associated with slope instability [PDF]
, 2011 Many open pit mines are now being mined at very significant depths, often at depths far greater than was originally planned. Even deeper open pits are also being planned, to depths that would be considered deep by underground standards. Major rock slopes

A framework for remediation prioritization of unstable rock slopes based on indirect information
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskPrioritizing multiple potentially unstable slopes based on varying levels of criticality is an essential approach when resources are limited. This study presents a framework for planning the prioritization of unstable rock slope remediation.

Geotechnical evaluation of rocks and soils in Catoca kimberlitic mining complex (Angola) [PDF]
, 2012 Landslides and rock sliding occur very frequently in the mining area of Catoca, located in Angola. Therefore, a physical/mechanical and geotechnical characterization of the massif and the rock matrix was carried out adopting the landslide classifications

Pared-down landscapes in Antarctica [PDF]
, 1971 The frigid-arid climate that now prevails in ice-free parts of Victoria Land, Antarctica, inhibits glacial erosion. If certain landscapes, more or less remote from the great troughs of outlet glaciers, have been glaciated in the past, as seems very ...

PLoS ONEThe 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 ...

Yantu gongcheng xuebaoIn practical engineering, the surfaces of bedding rock slopes are mostly irregular, and their geometrical concave and convex characteristics and joint characteristics have a significant effect on the slope stability, which leads to the problem of the ...

Physical and theoretical modeling of rock slopes against block-flexure toppling failure [PDF]
International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 2015 Block-flexure is the most common mode of toppling failure in natural and excavated rock slopes. In such failure, some rock blocks break due to tensile stresses and some overturn under their own weights and then all of them topple together. In this paper,

Field reconnaissance geologic mapping of the Columbia Hills, Mars, based on Mars Exploration Rover Spirit and MRO HiRISE observations [PDF]
, 2011 Chemical, mineralogic, and lithologic ground truth was acquired for the first time on Mars in terrain units mapped using orbital Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (MRO HiRISE) image data.
