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.
Mount Maunganui is a rhyolite dome that stands 232 metres above sea level at the entrance of the Tauranga Harbour. In January 2011, Cyclone Wilma triggered several tens of landslides at this site. This study reviews the spatial distribution of…
Study of several field case histories has shown that the difference between two- and three-dimensional factors of safety is most pronounced in cases that involve a translational failure. Two- and three-dimensional slope stability analyses of field case histories and a…
The stability assessment and potential sliding surface determination of open-pit mine slopes are pivotal topics in mine safety. Focusing on an open-pit limestone mine slope in Hebei Province, China, this study proposes a systematic and practical methodology for modeling, stability…
Analyses 3D seismic displacement mechanisms and differences from 2D Newmark approaches.
Discusses stability behaviour of residual soils and their unique characteristics.
Discussion/closure reinforcing earlier kinematic methods for reinforced slopes.
Introduces a kinematic upper-bound method for slope stability using plasticity theory.
Uses back-analysis of real slope failures to infer mobilised strengths and pore-pressure conditions at failure.
Critical review of Newmark-type and related procedures for predicting permanent slope displacements under earthquake loading, with guidance on method selection.
Program documentation for STABL5, describing implementation of the Spencer method for slope stability analysis.
Shows practical reasons why 3D analyses can diverge significantly from 2D predictions.
Develops a closed-form 2D slope stability method as an alternative to slice-based LEM.
Dedicated reference on slope stability that develops limit equilibrium theory from first principles and applies it to a wide range of earth structures, including embankments, levees, cut slopes and dams. Huang outlines common methods of slices, factor of safety definitions…
