Pseudo-static stability analysis of rock slopes reinforced by passive bolts using the generalized Hoek–Brown criterion

The stability analysis of passive bolt-reinforced rock slopes under seismic loads is investigated within the framework of the kinematic approach of limit analysis theory. A pseudo-static method is adopted to account for the inertial forces induced in the rock mass by seismic events. The strength pro...
