Based on their findings, the researchers noted there are practical solutions that could have prevented collapse of the embankment slope investigated in this study. Their recommendations include using ...

Rock slope failures pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to the intricate nature of rock masses, discontinuities, and various destabilizing factors during and after excavation.

This study presents a probabilistic failure assessment model for bolt-stabilized pro-dip slopes, explicitly addressing the critical yet overlooked shear effect in conventional stability analyses.

Project Engineer Korey Hardin said more rain forecasted over the coming days could worsen the situation.

More than two years before a Target store West Virginia partially collapsed earlier this month, a federal study predicted that such an event was very likely, according to a local news outlet. The ...

Slope failures in the form of faulted blocks suggest modification of materials within this ancient basin, possibly related to recent glaciation. Studying the possible triggers and dynamics of the ...

Landslides and slope failures resulting from disasters cause millions of dollars in damage to infrastructure each year. Following a disaster, funding for repair and restoration of infrastructure, ...

A stretch of State Highway 13 in Mendota Heights, Minn. was closed Tuesday as crews inspected the site of a slope failure. When it comes to staying informed in Minnesota, our newsletters overdeliver.

LANCASTER, Tenn. (WSMV) - A slope failure has closed a portion of a roadway in Smith County near the DeKalb County line, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation. State Route 141 ...
