The stability issue of fractured rock mass slope under the influences of freeze–thaw cycle

Freeze–thaw failure of frozen rock slope often occurs during engineering construction and mining in cold area, which poses a great threat to engineering construction and people's life safety. The ...

Research on failure mechanism of landslide with retaining-wall-like locked segment and instability prediction by inverse velocity method

The locked segment is critical for determining the stability of locked segment-type landslides. Research indicates that the volume expansion point marks the transition from the secondary creep stage ...
