A numerical model for slope stability analysis based on the fracture mechanics approach is developed in this research. The interface slope...

... Abstract: As mine open pits become increasingly aggressive and deep (beyond 400 m) due to exhaustion of near-surface resources or implausibility of underground excavation, significant challenges emerge using standard slope stability analysis techniques. Typically during overall failure...

...1. INTRODUCTION Since the first literature had been published by Fellenius(1936)[1], which was about slope stability analysis. There have been lots of research articles related to slope stability. Up to now, the slope stability has been widely assessed by popular methods such as the conventional...
