Challenges Assessing Rock Slope Stability Using the Strength Reduction Method with the Hoek–Brown Criterion on the Example of Vals (Tyrol/Austria)

To estimate the hazard posed by rock slopes, it is essential to determine the overall stability and potential detachment volume. This is mostly solved using numerical methods together with the strength reduction method (SRM). Many calculation programs do not provide a direct implementation of the Ho...
