The consideration of anisotropic strength in limit equilibrium has become popular among practitioners in the field of slope stability. Rock masses exhibit failure planes in various directions which cannot be ignored in the analysis. The consideration of anisotropy in limit equilibrium by varying the...

During the excavation of pump house-II of Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) Link-II, sudden slope failure happened on the upstream wall from existing ground level +274.00 to +225.00 m level. In this paper the cause of slope failure at the upstream right-side wall of the pump house and support...

Creep in rock masses is typically described as the gradual deformation that occurs when loads are applied for long durations at varying temperatures. This process, which may result from chemical reactions in susceptible environments, leads to instabilities and catastrophic strength degradation in the...

This research focuses on the analysis of rock stability in the St. Michael Tunnel, part of the Wachau railway in Lower Austria. The study area includes the entire tunnel and the surrounding rock slopes with Para gneiss alternations and Schists. Initial surveys were conducted to assess the original ground...
