... of industrial application, and decreases in production costs (Brady & Brown 2013). Form, size, and the path of progressive failure and caving depend on many factors. The most important factors among them are consist of: The mineral slope angle β 0 , the width of the mineral ore W, lower cartridge H 1...

... The 1991 Randa rockslide in the Swiss Alps involved several complex mechanisms relating to geological, mechanical and hydrological processes for which no clear triggering mechanism can be ascertained. This paper investigates the concept of progressive failure and the numerical modelling of rock...

... its stability occurs with time. The progressive failure process of different rock types evolves differently depending on the rocks deformability or brittleness characteristics. This paper presents a strain-dependent mobilization law for the development of the shear strength along both the basal...
