Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimate of Safe Angle for Cut Slopes Under Different Geology and Rainfall Intensity in Central NepalPrabin Shrestha, Khomendra Bhandari, Mahendra Acharya et al.This research has been carried out on a cut slope of Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track Road near Koppugaon located at Dakshinkali Municipality, Kathmandu. The cutting of the slope without considering the possible effects of geological parameters of slope material may cause unexpected slope failures which may cause loss of lives and properties. This research deals with the effects of rainfall and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2024 · 9,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransverse Bed-Slope, Lateral Bed-Load Rate and Bed-Load Deviation Angle in Meandering Alluvial StreamsYoussef Ismail HafezA novel expression for the deviation angle of the bed-load discharge is developed which allows its distinction with the other deviation angles of the flow velocity and boundary shear stress. A transverse bed-slope equation is developed which compares very well with experimental data and field data at the Fall River and Muddy Creek, USA. Stream-wise computations are successfully performed of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 9 Sep 2024 · 4,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstablishment of Readily Mathematical Formulation for the Evaluation of Slope Stability in Earth-Fill DamsSalah Saleh, Majda Ibobakr Almhdi AmerThe assessment of slope stability has been considered to be one of the most common issues to deal with by geotechnical engineers. This is due to the amount of destruction that can be brought up by the slope failure of soil masses to roads, railways, and earth dams, for example. Therefore, the stability of soil mass slopes must be carefully … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2023 · 5,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTrend Analysis of Precipitation, Groundwater Level and Flow Rate Data by using Mann-Kendall and Sen's Slope Estimator Statistical Tests in the Petorca CommunerHéctor L. Venegas-Quiñones, Mark Thomasson, Pablo A. Garcia-ChevesichThis article analyses one of the most complex socio-environmental conflicts in Chile: The Petorca water crisis. Petorca has been experiencing a shortage of water for several years. The cause of these variations has not yet been completely analyzed and the problem has remained unchanged. This paper evaluates hydrology variables to identify, quantify and demonstrate the cause of water shortages in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 10 Jan 2020 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnd Discharge Relationship for Free Overfall Affected by Upstream Bed Roughness and SlopeJaafar S. MaatooqThe experimental program of this paper was restricted to free vertical drop structure at the end of the rectangular channel. The roughness and slope of the bed of approach channel are the aim of this study to show their effects on End Depth Ratio (EDR). Three different roughness from smooth (n = 0.009) to rough (n = 0.019) with four-bed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRISP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharThe stability of slopes is always under severe threats in many parts of Western Ghats, especially in Kallar-Coonoor hill road stretch, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. To minimize the instability of soil slope in between Kallar-Coonoor, a critical evaluation of roads is required. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStability Analysis of Southern Slope of Chenmenshan Open Pit Copper MineMohammed Mnzool, Ling Wan, Zuoan WeiChengmenshan Copper SulphurMine, one of the of the large-scale open pit mine in China, the engineering geology and hydrogeology in the Southern slope of the mine is very complicated and the contact plane between two kinds of sandstone’s form soft-weak layer. Field investigations and reports by operators demonstrated that some instability problems might occur in the southern slope which is … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMorphological Features of Rodoretto Valley Deep-Seated Gravitational Slope DeformationsMaria Gabriella Forno, Andrea Lingua, Stefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaA new, detailed survey of the Rodoretto Valley (Western Alps, Italy) has been conducted resulting in the production of a new morphological and quaternary geological map of the area. The authors used the innovative Solid (True) Ortho-Photo (STOP) technology integrated with navigation sensors (Global Navigation Satellite System-GNSS/Inertial Measurement Unit-IMU). This state-of-the-art procedure has demonstrated several operational advantages during both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 9 Feb 2013 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Slope Geometry on Flowslide OccurrenceChiara DeangeliThe paper reports a study aimed to the prediction of susceptibility to flowslide of granular soil slopes as a consequence of the in situ state of stress. In particular, the slope geometry has been investigated as a factor influencing the initial state of stress. For this purpose the results of numerical models, performed by a finite different approach (FLAC), allowed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
