Abstract: In situ stress is a significant characteristic of underground rock masses. This work extended the time-domain recursive method (TDRM) to study oblique wave attenuation across an in situ stressed joint wherein the normal ...

Abstract: Strong dynamic disturbances constitute an important problem threatening the safety of deep underground engineering projects. The mechanical mechanisms responsible for such disturbances in deep rock masses can be revealed ...

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: Talus deposits naturally form to a certain height in the toes of slopes because of the accumulation of collapsed material and small landslides. However, the stability of concealed cataclinal slopes with talus deposits ...

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: Fully grouted bolts are widely used to reinforce road cutting slopes because of their low cost and high efficiency. However, there is a lack of research on the anchorage failure mechanism and stability assessment of ...

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 ...
