Influence of Fracture Geometric Characteristics on Fractured Rock Slope Stability

Influence of Fracture Geometric Characteristics on Fractured Rock Slope Stability

Analysis of the stability of slopes in fractured rock masses is not trivial and is fraught with uncertainty and risk. A DFN-DEC model (Discrete Fracture Network-Distinct Element Code) based on the MATLAB platform is developed to evaluate the stability of rock slopes with random fractures. Then, the...
