A landslide hazard zonation is a division of the land surface into areas, and the relative ranking of these areas according to degrees of actual or potential hazard from landslides on slopes. Zonation from scientific research does not generally imply legal restrictions, but can be useful to those people who are charged with the land management, by providing them with information that is indispe...

Abstract In current research, a novel geometrical technique is introduced to estimate the length ( L ) of sliding arc by considering slip surface entry point distance d e ). Morgenstern-Price limiting equilibrium and strength reduction methods are selected within framework SLOPE/W FLAC 3D softwares respectively, study mechanism stability-effecting factor for loose rock slope comprise two differ...

Toppling failure is one of the most common modes of failure of rock slopes in layered rock strata. Flexural toppling is one of the well-known modes of the failure. This type of failure occurs due to bending stress. In this article, a brief yet comprehensive review of toppling failure is presented. Firstly, the conditions and general mechanism of the failure are described. Then, experimental, th...

Uniaxial compressive and Brazilian tensile strengths (UCS and BTS) of rocks are considered important properties in the design of most the geotechnical projects that interact with rock such as slope stability and underground excavation. Measuring UCS and BTS using standard laboratory tests are time consuming, tedious and expensive. Moreover, it requires a large number of well-prepared rock cores...

the design of appropriate, cost-effective remedial measures requires a clear understanding of the processes that are causing the landslide. this understanding require a detailed site investigation, a reconnaissance of the landslide as soon as possible after it's occurrence can allow important observations of the processes involved. a key step in analyses of soil slope stability is measurin...

Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) unmanned aerial vehicle-structure from motion (UAV-SfM) provide point clouds with unprecedented resolution accuracy that are well suited for the digital characterization of rock outcrops where direct contact measurements cannot be obtained due to terrain or safety constraints. Today, however, how better apply these techniques practice geostructural a...
