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. To obtain better estimation results, a new rock contour establishing algorithm was developed, capable of considering interlock effect between rocks. Then, computed tomography (CT) and unconfined triaxial tests with ring top loadings were conducted.

Progressive failure in rock bridges along pre-existing discontinuities is one of the predominant destruction modes of rock slopes.

The increase in moisture, if able to infiltrate the hill slope, can lead to the buildup of excess pore water pressure resulting in a decrease in shear strength of the soil. This phenomenon results in surficial failures that can slowly degrade the stability of a hill slope and eventually lead to failure. Monitoring this using traditional surveying techniques can prove to be time consuming and difficult due to the sheer number of points required to accurately capture the slope movement. To overcom

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The long-term stability of engineered slopes is becoming a critical focus point as the number of open pit mines anticipated to close in the coming years is increasing, and governments, regulators, and society are collectively placing more emphasis on sustainable management of mineral resources and land use (IISD, 2021). However, there are currently few guidelines on assessing long-term slope stability. Of central importance is the recognition that rock mass properties are not constants, and therefore, open pit slopes that are presently stable may not remain so in the future. Conventi

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Rock slope stability analysis is of great interest to researchers and engineers due to its potential geo-hazards. This is primarily governed by the shear strength and the acting shear stress which is often expressed in terms of Factor of Safety (FoS) over a potential slip surface. This study investigated the susceptibility of road-cut slopes to rockfall hazard and its associated risks in Northeastern New Jersey, United States, as well as predicted the failure transition to rapid sliding. Four (4) vulnerable rock slopes were identified and demarcated for detailed slope stability analy
