Hydropower plants (including the switching station) built in middle and southern section of north–south zone China are always situated complex geological settings transition zones from strong to weak earthquakes with active faults. It is great importance carry out careful evaluation slope stability considering various loading scenarios ensure safe operation power stations. By using rigid body l...

Abstract Slope stability is an important factor in the planning and operation of open pits mines. Currently company has been mining up to a height 20 meters. In implementation activities, potential for landslides on side walls slopes sector X occurs one slopes, namely at elevation +70 masl. The made two design choices, which was confirmed by researchers overcoming landslides. carrying out slope...

Modelling the presence and effect of a thin weak layer soil or rock in slope stability analysis performed through finite element method (FEM) presents several problems purely numerical nature. This paper deals with parametric three different 2D case studies (both ideal real) unstable potentially slopes containing soft band (or layer). The FEM software used is RS2 (Rocscience®). aim investigatin...
