Three-dimensional stability analysis of fault-controlled slopes using a column-based composite slip-surface framework

Three-Dimensional Limit-Equilibrium Comparison and Anchorage Design of a Multi-Plane Potentially Unstable Rock Block on a Hydropower Station Slope

Accurate stability assessment of potentially unstable rock blocks is essential for the safe construction and operation of hydropower infrastructure. This study applies a comparative limit-equilibrium workflow to a single, well-characterized sliding-type rock block (156.7 m3) bounded by three discontinuities (J1 250°/35...

Geotechnical and Numerical Analysis of Slope Stability in Potentially Unstable Marly Formations

Probabilistic seismic slope stability analysis based on a three-dimensional pseudo-dynamic limit equilibrium approach

Integrated assessment of open-pit slope stability considering structural anisotropy, strength parameter uncertainty, and slope geometry

Purpose. To develop and validate an integrated methodology for open-pit slope stability assessment that provides a traceable transition from structural data of a fractured rock mass to Q′-GSI classification, kinematic analysis, strength parameter calibration, deterministic and probabilistic stability assessment, and qu...

3D Seepage, Deformation, and Stability Analysis of the Yecha Concrete-Face Rockfill Dam Considering Defect Scenarios

Concrete-face rockfill dams (CFRDs) constructed in narrow valleys and on spatially heterogeneous foundations may experience nonuniform seepage and deformation, while local defects in the seepage-control system can further affect their operational safety. This study establishes a three-dimensional finite element model o...

Numerical-analytical method for slope stability assessment using circular slip surfaces in homogeneous massifs: Refined

Slope stability determination within homogeneous rock masses was examined using analytical-numerical calculations tailored for circular cylindrical slip surfaces. Traditional pit wall and waste dump stability calculations faced delays due to time-consuming iterative approximations, which limited automated monitoring...
