Classification of pit slope failure mechanisms related to anisotropic rock mass conditions (after Stead & Wolter 2015)
Source publication
The stability of rock slopes designed and excavated within anisotropic rock masses are influenced by several
factors, some of which include spacing intensity, continuity, roughness, dip and dip direction, and waviness.
Foliation-parallel instabilities are often expressed at the multi-bench or inter-ramp scale due to the high
persistence, larger-sca...

... slope design must, therefore, consider these characteristics when assessing potential failure mechanisms at various scales. In anisotropic rock, geotechnical stability can be related to the following fundamental failure mechanisms ( Figure 3): ...

Photogrammetry-based method is gaining popularity in many fields. One of the main tasks of photogrammetry is to identify the homologous points in multiple images, which is commonly referred to as the corresponding problem. Coded targets are often placed on the surfaces of the targeted objects and have been widely used as a reliable method for solvi...
