The application of the method is illustrated in several practical examples of the design of rock slopes. The first failure occurred in a 20 m high granite slope that was stabilized by removing the top 6 m and installing a number of tensioned rock anchors in the toe. In this manner the engineer can obtain a good idea of the sensitivity of the rock slope construction to changes in the individual parameters. The primary objective of slope stability analysis is to identify potential failure mechanisms and endangered areas. and of its equatorial plane to the horizontal [Figure (c) Toppling failure in hard rock with slabs or columns defined by discontinuities that dip steeply into the slope Circular failure in overburden soil, waste rock or heavily fractured rock with no identifiable structural pattern At the time of failure, the shear strength of the soil is fully mobilized along the failure plane. This site uses cookies. The discovery of a formal analogy between the plane failure problem and that of wedge failure on two intersecting plane surfaces makes it possible to use the basic formula also for the solution of the complicated three-dimensional wedge problem. The shear strength is represented by the Mohr-Coulomb criteria: τ= c 1, pp. In this type of failure, the failure plane is predetermined.

ROCK SLOPES PROCESSES AND RECOMMENDED METHODS FOR ANALYSIS A. K. Alzo'ubi College of Engineering, Abu Dhabi University, UAE ABSTRACT: The stability of rock slopes is of great concern in many engineering projects, for example, road cuts, foundations, retaining walls, and dam excavation Generally, rock slopes susceptible to instability could be divided into two main categories, the … Landslide developed in rock mass usually has irregular shear plane. However, the stratified rock slope cannot be accurately estimated by this method because of different bedding planes and their variable shear strength parameters. non-associative character of toppling-sliding rock slope failures, examples of experimental data were chosen from the rock mech-anics literature to address (iii). 1. Kinematic Analysis Kinematic Analysis –– Planar Rock Slope FailurePlanar Rock Slope Failure To consider the kinematic admissibility of plane instability To consider the kinematic admissibility of plane instability, five necessary but simple geometrical criteria must be met: (i) The plane … These methods are developed on the assumption that the plane of failure is circular arc, apart from the Culmann method that assumes a plane surface of failure through the toe of the slope. The most important types of slope failure are illustrated in Fig.1. Hoek, E. and Bray, J. The original Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion was used to analyse the stability of rock slopes. Stability of Finite Slopes with Plane Failure Surface ... • Rapidly moving mass of material (rock or soil) that travels mostly through the air with little or no interaction between moving unit and another. Introduction. 3 could be used as a set of reference curves: that is, the appropriate curves could be traced to obtain the daylight envelope required for slope stability analysis. 1-6. Failure of a rock slope on one or two plane surfaces is the simplest but at the same time the most important type of sliding failure and forms the basis for the stability analysis of rock slopes. Hoek and Bray (1981) gave an analytical approach for plane failure analysis for rock slopes that is limited to those slopes in which the upper slope surface is horizontal and the tension crack is vertical. 2. An analysis is presented here which can take these factors into account. Geotech Geol Eng 13, 105–111 (1995). The rock is variably weathered, as shown by the brown colours in Figures 1 and 2. The quantitative determination of the stability of slopes is necessary in a number of engineering activities, such as: (a) the design of earth dams and embankments, (b) the analysis of stability of natural slopes, (c) analysis of the stability of excavated slopes, (d) analysis of deepseated failure of foundations and retaining walls. A modified pseudo-dynamic approach was used for a reliability-based stability analysis of plane failure rock slopes. Plane failure is a simple mode of failure in rock s lopes, however due to com plexity in geometry, variability in discontinuity characteristics, uneven distribution of water forces within the slope, Modes of failure in rock slopes (after Hoek and Bray [1]). The orientation and spacing of the discontinuities plane with respect to the slope face are the determinants of rock slope failure. Die Bemessungsformel dient in beiden Fällen auch zur Durchführung einer umfangreichen Parameteranalyse um die Empfindlichkeit der Konstruktion auf die Variation der einzelnen Parameter zu ermitteln. 2.
