Abstract In current research, a novel geometrical technique is introduced to estimate the length ( L ) of sliding arc by considering slip surface entry point distance d e ). Morgenstern-Price limiting equilibrium and strength reduction methods are selected within framework SLOPE/W FLAC 3D softwares respectively, study mechanism stability-effecting factor for loose rock slope comprise two differ...

For an open pit mine, the rock slope stability is one of major significant challenges at every stage in operation. It became a concern from planning until mining closure. Mining activities research location have entered closure phase and produced final that consists 4 single slopes with overall height 65m angle 62° its not yet known. The actual has discontinuities which affect potential for fai...

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) scanners are increasingly being used to measure discontinuity orientations on rock cuts to eliminate the bias and hazards of manual measurements which are also time consuming and somewhat subjective. Typically LiDAR data sets (point clouds) are analyzed by sophisticated algorithms that break down when conditions are not ideal, eg. when some of the discontinui...

Knowledge of habitat requirements of aquatic animals plays an important role in fisheries and protection programs of aquatic ecosystems. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the suitability indexes of habitat use and habitat suitability index (HSI) of Barbus cyri in its distribution range in Tootkabon River. A number of environmental variables, including elevation, water depth, river ...
