<p>Rock slope stability analysis can be applied for transportation systems such as highways and railways. Failure of rock slopes includes a variety of rock falls, landslides and general instability of rock slopes. This article is done in a rock slope which ...

<p>The Raidah Escarpment road is located north west of Abha city, Asir region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This escarpment road represents an important corridor in the area which connects different villages and tourist resorts with each other. The total length ...

This paper documents the development of a South African innovation, a remote-controlled mechanical highwall scaler, a world first for the mining industry. The scaler will enable open-pit highwalls to be scaled from crest to toe whenever the need arises. It ...

The morphological and geological setting of Greece, the active tectonics and the irrational human activities results to the fact that several natural sightseeing areas or even more, archaeological sitesand monuments are located in areas with unfavourable geotechnical ...

El Teniente Division of CODELCO is conducting a pre-feasibility engineering evaluation of Rajo Sur project in Chile. This project involves construction of an open pit to mine a copper deposit near the southern border of the caving subsidence crater high in ...

This paper describes experience gained in the application of terrestrial digital photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning for the characterization of the structure of high mountain rock slopes and large landslides. A methodology allowing the creation ...

<p>The main purpose of this study is to determine a safe angle for the rock slope at entry road cut slope Fraser's Hill. The data was analyzed by stereo-plot and then analyzed using kinematic to determine the maximum safe slope angle (MSSA) for the rock slope ...

The main objective of this paper has been the numerical evaluation of static and dynamic stability of a small rock sea cliff located in Peschici, a small city along the Gargano promontory (Southern Italy),very important for tourism. A considerable effort has ...

<p>The objective of this paper is to present a new rock mass classification system which can be appropriate for rock slope stability assessment. In this paper an evaluation model based on combining the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Fuzzy Delphi ...

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