Abstract: Biplanar failure is the most common instability type of footwall slopes, with a steeply dipping joint (typically the bedding plane) and a gently dipping joint (i.e., the daylighting toe joint) forming the basic failure ...

Abstract: Dip slopes are often encountered in deep-cut canyons and engineering projects. Such slopes, when they become unstable, commonly undergo bi-planar failure, and this mode of failure tends to produce the widest-ranging effects. ...

Abstract: In this study, a simplified mechanical model is proposed based on the failure characteristics of a gypsum pillar–roof system obtained through in situ investigation. Then, a cusp catastrophe model for the gypsum pillar–roof ...

Abstract: The deformation monitoring data including the horizontal and vertical displacements from Chengchao Iron-ore Mine were gathered over 10 years. Combined with the field macrofailure characteristics at the ground surface, the ...
