The goal of this article is to revise several aspects of the well-known classification of
landslides, developed by Varnes (1978). The primary recommendation is to modify the …

The failure mechanism of anti-dip layered slopes is essentially different from that of dip
layered slopes. Therefore, it is important to investigate the failure mechanism of anti-dip …

Occurrence of toppling failure has been prominent due to the increasing of infrastructure
construction, such as road slopes, dams, and hydroelectric stations. Many scholars have …

Recent advances in the characterization of complex rock slope deformation and failure
using numerical techniques have demonstrated significant potential for furthering our …

Since the early work of Heim (1932) and Terzaghi (1950), landslide researchers have
striven to better understand and predict catastrophic slope failure. Despite considerable …

The underlying complexity associated with deep-seated rock slope stability problems
usually restricts their treatment to phenomenological studies that are largely descriptive and …

Toppling is a widespread failure mode in natural and excavated anaclinal rock slopes and
threatens the construction and operation of important infrastructure such as hydropower and …

Rockslides and Rock Avalanches of Central Asia: Distribution, Impacts, and Hazard
Assessment arms scientists with an inclusive and specialized reference for future studies of …

This paper presents the results of an investigation of the Gongjiafang landslide with the
volume of about 500,000 m 3 in the Three Gorges Reservoir region (TGR), occurred on 23 …

In recent years, massive interbedded sandstone and slate anti-dip slopes have been
discovered in the southwest and northwest regions of China. The distinct mechanical …
