Effect of Bedding Orientation and Spatial Variability of Stratification Shear Strength on Stability of Transversely Isotropic Rock Slope

The spatial variability of soil properties is inherent. A series of direct shear tests were carried out on strongly weathered slates samples with weak bedding planes, the result of which indicates the existence of variability of shear strength parameters. Based on the testing results, several numeri...
