<p>A complete kinematic analysis was conducted for the west slope at the Handlebar Hill mine using the Rocscience/Dips 6.0 software. The west slope was divided into three zones: W1 (south-west), W2 (mid-west) and W3 (north-west), which were then subdivided ...

<p>The national highways are always considered as the economic backbone of the country and have often assisted development work all along their routes. The National Highway (NH-1D) is the most strategic and the only all weather surface link between the two ...

On 4 September 2010, a surface rupturing earthquake (Mw 7.1) struck the Canterbury Plains region in New Zealand's South Island. The Canterbury Plains is a region of relatively low seismicity, and the structure that ruptured was a previously unmapped fault. ...

The paper presents the kinematics of rock instability of a high limestone promontory, where the Monemvasia historical site is situated, in Peloponnese in Southern Greece. The instability phenomena poses a significant threat to the town located at the base of ...

Fibre reinforcement is a technology to improve the strength of soils used as fill in geotechnical structures. The properties of the fibre-reinforced sand are anisotropic because of the distribution of orientation of the fibres, which is characterised by a ...

The Clanwilliam Landslide, April 2nd 1999, occurred on a south facing slope above Clanwilliam Lake, approximately 13 km west of Revelstoke, B.C. The landslide is located near the western margin of the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex and a major tectonic structure ...

<p>The In&ouml;n&uuml;-Eskisehir fault system (IEFS) is one of the most important fault systems in Central Anatolia and consists of a series of NW&ndash;SE- to WNW&ndash;ESE-trending fault zones extending from Uludag (Bursa) in the northwest to SultanhanI ...

<p>This paper presents the slope stability and excavatability assessment of rocks at the Kapikaya dam site that contains diabases.</p>

The following paper describes the cause, course and result of geological engineering investigations of rock slopes.

<p>About 22 mio m³ of rock fell from a cliff near the village of Randa (10 km north of Zermatt, Switzerland) on 18 April 1991. A second retrogressive rockslide of about 7 miom³ followed on 9 May 1991. At present, a rock mass situated ...
