Slope instabilities present significant geotechnical problems involving a variety of geomaterials in different geological and climatic environments. These phenomena, which can be natural or man-made, are difficult to predict because their initiation depends on many factors. Man-made slopes are expected in a large number of civil and mining engineer...

Population increase and the demand for infrastructure development such as construction of highways and road widening are intangible, leading up to mass land clearing. As flat terrains become scarce, infrastructure expansions have moved on to hilly terrains, cutting through slopes and forests. Unvegetated or bare slopes are prone to erosion due to t...

PurposeSoil erosion is a significant environmental impact of surface mining affecting the initial establishment of vegetation, especially on steep slopes, during reclamation. Consequently, we investigated the potentials of biological geotextiles constructed from two local plants, Pennisetum purpureum and Broussonetia papyrifera, in reducing erosion...

This paper performs systematical studies on deformation response and retaining mechanism of a novel retaining structure, i.e., an h-type anti-sliding pile, which has been used to stabilize slopes in mountain areas. The present systematical studies can be divided into two parts, including experimental studies and numerical investigations. Firstly, t...

The outstanding Red Beach in Santorini, a famous volcanic island in the Aegean Sea in the territory of Greece, exhibits extended rockfall instabilities along its cliffs, placing its highly frequented touristic zones at high risk. This study aimed to generate an engineering geological interpretation of these instabilities and to evaluate the degree ...

A reservoir landslide not only reduces the water storage capacity, but also causes extensive damages to the dam body, power/water transmission lines, roads, and other infrastructures. The Latian Dam, located 35 km north east of Tehran (Iran), is one of the cases which has encountered serious problems with instability of its rock abutments. This pap...

Der Begriff Naturgefahren ist aufgrund der Wetterphänomene (z.B. Starkregen, Hagel, punktuelle starke Schneefälle) in den letzten Jahren immer stärker in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit geraten, da mit dem Auftreten von Hochwässern, Lawinenabgängen, Vermurungen, Hangrutschungen, etc. zumeist beträchtliche Objektschäden verbunden sein können. Nachfolge...

The objective of this research was to assess the characteristics of seismic induced damage and the deformation patterns of pre-stressed cement-grouted cables that are used for rock slope stabilization projects subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading. The experimental configuration includes the installation of 15 pre-stressed cables in a slope mode...

This study investigates the causes and failure mechanism of the Aksu landslide that occurred during the construction of the Giresun–Espiye road between KM: 1 + 030–1 + 170 in northern Turkey and recommends proper stabilization techniques. For the purpose of investigating the causes and mechanism of this slope failure, engineering geological mapping...
