Stability analysis of rock slopes using the interface contact model and strength reduction method

The assessment of rock slope stability is usually controlled by the presence of discontinuities. The block theory is an established method in practical engineering to predict the stability of rock slopes. A maximum of two discontinuity planes are considered in the application of the block theory. It...
