System reliability approach to rock slope stability
A systematic quantitative methodology for the reliability analysis of stability of rock slopes is presented. A sliding mass resting on an inclined plane and composed of two blocks separated by a vertical tension crack is considered, and a disjoint cut-set system formulation is proposed, with each cut-set corresponding to a different failure mode of the slope. Methods for the evaluation of the s...
متن کاملRock Slope Stability Analysis Using Discrete Element Method
Rock slope stability depends very much on the strength features of the rock and the geometrical and strength characteristics of the discontinuities (e.g., roughness, wall strength and persistence). Since a rock mass is not a continuum, its behavior is dominated by such discontinuities as faults, joints and bedding planes. Also, Rock slope instability is a major hazard for human activities and o...
متن کاملOutbreak of toxoplasmosis associated with municipal drinking water--British Columbia. The British Columbia Toxoplasmosis Team.
Between 1 January, 1995 and 6 September, 1995, there have been 110 acute Toxoplasma gondii infections identified among individuals in the Greater Victoria area. Of these, 42 infected women and 11 newborns have been identified through a pregnancy-related screening program, which began on 24 April, 1995. Fifty-seven infections have been identified in non-pregnant individuals. This outbreak of tox...

متن کاملMagnitude and frequency of landslides triggered by a storm event, Loughborough Inlet, British Columbia
One hundred and one landslides were documented across 370 km2 following a rainstorm that swept the British Columbia coastline on 18 November 2001. Despite the regional nature of the storm, the landslides were spaced close together, even within the study area. Landslide clustering is attributed to high intensity storm cells too small to be recorded by the general hydrometric network. The evidenc...
