In the past, rock slope stability analysis were performed either graphically or using a hand-held calculator, but nowadays there are variety of slope stability analysis which can be used according to the field condition and potential failure mode. In 2-D analysis, effect of convex and concave walls are neglected, however concave slopes are believed to be more stable than straight walls due to t...

An analytical approach for the estimating of critical seismic acceleration rock slopes was proposed in this study. Based on 3D horn failure model, coefficient conducted with modified Hoek–Brown (MHB) criterion framework upper-bound theory first time. The nonlinear is incorporated into three-dimensional rotational mechanism, and a generalized tangent technique introduced employed to convert line...
