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...

slope stability is one of the major and determiner parameters in the economy and safety of open pit mines. failure and consequently rupture of the slope caused no compensable economic and humanity losses. so, probability assessment of the further failure for presentation of damages and additional costs is of prime importance. in this research, stability analysis and probability assessment of th...

l f Discominuity persistence has a major effect on rock mass resistance (strength) but, as direct mapping ofdiscominuities imemal to a rock mass is not possible, persistence is a difficult parameter to measure. As a result, the conservative approach of assuming full persistence is often taken. /n this paper a method is developed for relating rock mass stability and hence persistence to the geom...
