... ABSTRACT: The point estimation method can be applied to the safety factor (SF) equation for any specified rock slope failure mode (such as plane shear, step path, or wedge) to obtain reliable estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the SF probability distribution. A gamma probability...

... ABSTRACT: Analyzing the stability of the three-dimensional wedges created around underground excavations in rock masses is a common problem in rock engineering. Most existing algorithms for wedge failure analysis assume wedges to be in low stress environments. Under such conditions...

... ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: A computer analysis of bench stability has been developed to account for multiple occurrences of potential slope-failure modes in discontinuous rock masses. Bench-scale plane shears and tetrahedral wedges are simulated and stochastically analyzed to estimate the probability...
