Weathering-Induced Strength Degradation and Hydro-Mechanical Controls on the Stability of Multilayered Tropical Rock Slopes

Tropical environments accelerate rock weathering, which can significantly reduce the stability of mineralized slopes. This study investigates the influence of weathering and groundwater conditions on the stability of a strong–weak–strong multilayered rock slope hosting an iron deposit in the Philippines, where intense...
