This library brings together respected third-party papers, reports, and reference material on slope stability. Each entry includes a short summary and a link to the original source so you can explore the full publication.
Instabilities in rock slopes are often triggered along planar joints with weakened shear strength, inducing translational failures. In intact rocks, however, the kinematics of failure may exhibit rotation, which is a more common occurrence also in soil slopes. A slope instability in…
Slope failures in opencast coal mines in the Northern Waikato Coal Region commonly occur in the vicinity of major faults where they define pit limits. In-pit engineering geological mapping at the Kopuku Sector of the Maramarua Coalfield demonstrates the existence…
Landslides pose significant risk to the communities and infrastructure, particularly in mountainous regions. Accurate estimation of landslide slip surface depth/geometry and volume of displaced material is crucial for hazard assessment, borehole planning and mitigation strategy. This study presents a novel,…
