Convergence aspect of limit equilibrium methods for slopes

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1990
This note is concerned with the multiplicity of solutions for the factor of safety that may be obtained on the basis of the method of slices. Discontinuities in the function for the factor of safety are discussed and the reasons for false convergence in any iterative solution process are explored, with particular reference to the well-known Bishop ...

Deriving and implementing slope and aspect variables for TIN

2014 International Conference on Signal Propagation and Computer Technology (ICSPCT 2014), 2014
This paper deals with Slope and Aspect variables with mathematical approach. A TIN connects a set of irregularly spaced (x,y,z) locations. In the first section it shows slope and aspect analysis method and algorithm. Then it shows the process to create slope and aspect from TIN Model.

Estimating solar radiation on slopes of arbitrary aspect

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2001
Solar radiation is a major environmental factor, controlling for example, plant growth, inactivation of fecal microbial contaminants, and soil property evolution. Modeling the magnitude and complexity of changes in solar radiation under cloudy conditions is a challenge.

Review of Geological Aspects of Slope Engineering

HKIE Transactions, 2003
The dominant slope-forming materials in Hong Kong, namely colluvium, saprolitic soils and weathered granitic and volcanic rocks, are inherently variable. The importance of appropriate geological input in local slope engineering has been recognised for over 40 years.

Slope, Aspect, and Phosphogypsum Effects on Runoff and Erosion

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1990
Abstract The effect of slope, aspect (windward vs. leeward), and phosphogypsum (PG) application on rain amount, runoff, and erosion from a Grumusol soil (Typic Chromoxerert in Israel) was measured in small field plots (1 by 1.5 m) exposed to natural rainstorms.

Application of Slope and Aspect of GIS in Landscape Planning

2013 International Conference on Computational and Information Sciences, 2013
Landscape planning is based on science and art. Landscape planning is to do space planning, design according to coordinate relationship of man and earth, man and nature. Landscape planning take sustainable development as the basic goal. In modern landscape planning area, more and more high technology are combined with planning and design theory to ...

Aspect and slope determination of Swartboskloof and Sosyskloof in Jonkershoek

2022
This is a scanned copy of a document, including maps, noting aspect and slope determination of Swartboskloof and Sosyskloof in Jonkershoek. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht.

14. Planning aspects of slopes in Britain

1991
The British planning system aims to control development and the use of land in the public interest. It is clearly not in the public interest for development to be damaged by landsliding that could have been foreseen or to trigger slope instability which affects its neighbours.

Regional seismic slope assessment improvements considering slope aspect and vertical ground motion

Engineering Geology, 2019
Abstract Seismic slope stability assessments in active fault zones are very important prior to designing and constructing large engineering structures. However, in most previous regional-scale analyses, ground motion records are either used directly or replaced by empirical regression equations.
