Bimrocks are complex geomaterials that are defined as mixtures of rocks composed of geotechnically significant blocks within a matrix of finer texture. Bimslopes are made from bimrocks and are usually seen in weathered and shallow environments. Some characteristics of blocks affecting the strength of bimrocks include VBP (Volumetric Block Proportion), orientation, and arrangement, which have im...

Abstract A wide range of heterogeneous geological units composed strong rock blocks enclosed in a bonded matrix fine texture exists worldwide. Such geomaterials belong to geotechnically complex formations and are often referred as bimrocks (block-in-matrix rocks) or bimsoils soils), function their characteristics the interface strength between blocks. Stability problems occurring such have been...
