... complete failure process of key blocks in a rock tunnel. Based on the developed 3-D NMM, a rock block falling from the side and roof of a horseshoe-shaped tunnel is studied. 12 discrete blocks are created, from which the most critical key blocks are found. The falling process of the key blocks detaching...

... geological origin and stability, the four recognitions below are obtained. (1) Most of the accumulation is composed of big rock blocks and gravel-bearing soil, dominated by big rock blocks. So there is a rock block arching in the accumulation. But domain 2 has obvious different structure from other domains...

.... The study shows that the DDA, which accounts for the block kinematics, provides a very different factor of safety as compared with Sarma's method. More realistic reaction forces around each rock block can be obtained by the DDA. The DDA's result shows two possible directions for the relative movement...

Estimations of them affect protection measures against rockfall. Often numerical simulations are conducted...

... ABSTRACT It is known that the time from the generation of the displacement to the collapse of the rock block is very short. Therefore, to evaluate the stability of the rock blocks quantitatively, it is necessary to find a sign that appears before the generation of the displacement. The rock...

Sliding occurs due to a translation movement of a rock block or a rock mass along a plane failure surface. Toppling involves rotation of rock blocks...
