Geotechnical models developed during the planning stages of open pit mines are three-dimensional so as to capture spatial variation in lithological, structural, hydrogeological, and geomechanical conditions. Geological that describe lithological structural (faulting folding) characteristics a deposit always 3D. Likewise, boreholes piezometers used develop properties groundwater drilled at offse...

GIS-based kinematic stability analysis in rock slopes is a rare practice geological engineering despite its immense potential to delineate unstable zones mountainous region. In this article, we have used modified technique assess the efficiency of predicting shallow landslides Himalayan mountains on regional scale. The limited use primarily due complexities involved practical application. To ma...

Limit-equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) with strength reduction method (SRM) techniques are the most widely used analysis tools in slope stability assessment. Recently, researchers have reported that both factor of safety (FOS) values and failure surfaces obtained from LEM and FEM are generally in good agreement, except in some particular cases. In this paper, the FOS and...

The evaluation of local stability of the tunnel surrounding rock mass with weak rock layer is very important for the economy and security of the tunnel construction. Based on the rock tunnel geological conditions in the construction, the finite element model of the tunnel surrounding rock mass stability analysis with weak rock layer is established in the article by selecting the ABAQUS program ...

In this paper an attempt is made to offer insights into local slope failure mechanisms from the perspective of hydrogeology. The hypothesis examined envisages that the hydraulic conductivity distribution in a weathered profile includes a relatively high hydraulic conductivity zone associated with the jointed rock mass near rockhead. There is evidence locally for such a condition. The groundwate...

The seepage and slope stability are very important and necessary in the dam dirt are, therefore, in this context, numerous applications to predict and calculate the rate of leakage has been prepared that than the experimental time and cost savings for the analysis of liquids before construction of earth dams need. In this study, safety factors for slope stability software Kaboodwal  plaxis two-...

In Malaysia, rock slope stability analysis has been largely confined to kinematic with mass rating systems as assessment tools for analysis. While this method addresses the fundamental issues of including identifying potential failure modes, an information gap still exists between geologists and engineers in designing proper mitigation measures slopes. This paper aims address issue by incorpora...
