Failure Mechanism and Stability Analysis of Rock Slope: New Insight and Methods

This book presents in—depth coverage of laboratory experiments, theories, modeling techniques, and practices for the analysis and design of rock slopes in complex geological settings. It addresses new concepts in connection with the kinematical element method, discontinuity kinematical element method, integrated karst cave shastic model—limit equilibrium method, improved strength reduction method, and fracture mechanics method, taking into account the relevant geological features. The book ...
