In the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. In 2-D analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

in this paper the factor of safety (fs) and critical line-segments slip surface obtained by the alternating variable local gradient (avlg) optimization method was presented as a new topic in 2d. results revealed that the percentage of reduction in the fs obtained by switching from a circular shape to line segments was higher with the avlg method than other methods. the 2d-avlg optimization meth...

slope stability analysis is a geotechnical engineering problem characterized by many sources ofuncertainty. in slope stability computations, some of these sources are encountered, such as geologicaldetails missed in the exploration program, estimation of soil properties that are difficult to quantifyand many other relevant factors. therefore, accurate reproduction of the spatial variability in ...

Based on current researches and developments of open-pit mine slope in China, the engineering features of open-pit mine slopes are summarized. Mine slope is basically formed by dynamic excavation of multi-level and multi-type, and mining benefit is the purpose of mine slope engineering when using various schemes and/or methods. Thus, the issues of design and stability analyses are the main conc...

The purpose of this article was to investigate the influence uncertain soil parameters on slope stability problems using probability method. most important instability is probably inherent spatial variability properties and its safety factors. method recognized for validity both in practice academic research. This geotechnical risk management involves parameters. In study, randomly selected wer...
