Assessment of parameter uncertainty associated with dip slope stability analyses as a means to improve site investigations / Brendan R. Fisher in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 138 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 138 N° 2 (Fevrier 2012) . - pp. 166-173 Titre : Assessment of parameter uncertainty associated with dip slope stability analyses as a means to improve site investigations Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brendan R. Fisher, Auteur ; Erik Eberhardt, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 166-173 Note générale : Géotechnique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dip slope Uncertainty Rock engineering Reliability Rock-mass rating Geological strength index Résumé : Uncertainty is inherent in geotechnical design. In regard to estimating the stability state of dip slopes, most of the uncertainty lies in the geologic model assumed and the geotechnical parameters used in the evaluation. Biplanar (or active–passive) sliding in dip slopes occurs along a slope-parallel sliding surface with toe breakout occurring at the base of the failure. Internal shearing is required to facilitate kinematic release. All three of these release surfaces work together for the slope to fail, but with different degrees of importance depending on the dip-slope inclination. Increased efficiency and value with respect to the site investigation resources can be gained by working toward minimizing the uncertainty of those parameters that have the greatest bearing on the outcome of the slope stability analysis. This can be done quickly and inexpensively by performing scoping calculations facilitated by the use of Spearman rank correlation coefficients. This paper demonstrates that for shallow-dipping dip slopes, stability is primarily dictated by the shear strength of the slope-parallel sliding surface, and therefore, efforts should be focused on constraining the shear strength of this surface. For steep dip slopes, the shear strength related to the toe breakout and internal shear release surfaces becomes dominant, and therefore, the rock-mass shear strength and that for any adversely dipping persistent discontinuities should be the focus of the geotechnical investigation.

Integrated back and forward analysis of rock slope stability and rockslide runout at Afternoon Creek, Washington / Alex Strouth in Canadian geotechnical journal, Vol. 46 N° 10 (Octobre 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inCanadian geotechnical journal > Vol. 46 N° 10 (Octobre 2009) . - pp. 1116–1132 Titre : Integrated back and forward analysis of rock slope stability and rockslide runout at Afternoon Creek, Washington Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alex Strouth, Auteur ; Erik Eberhardt, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp. 1116–1132 Note générale : Sciences de la Terre Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Rockslide Hazard assessment LiDAR Distinct-element modelling Runout analysis Glissement rocheux évaluation du danger Modélisation par éléments distincts Analyse de parcours Index. décimale : 550 Sciences auxiliaires de la géologie. Résumé : Hazard assessments involving large rock slopes are often problematic, given the influence of geology on failure kinematics and the subsequent influence of the failure kinematics on the rockslide runout. The 2003 Afternoon Creek rockslide in northwest Washington is one such example, where 750 000 m3 of rock slid from a steep ridge harmlessly into Afternoon Creek. However, topographic and structural controls at the source area unexpectedly redirected a small volume ( L’évaluation des dangers impliquant des grandes pentes rocheuses sont souvent problématiques puisqu’il faut tenir compte de l’influence de la géologie sur la cinématique des ruptures, et de l’influence subséquente de la cinématique des ruptures sur le parcours du glissement rocheux. Le glissement rocheux de 2003 de Afternoon Creek, dans le nord-ouest de Washington, en est un exemple, où 750, 000 m3 de roche ont glissé d’une pente raide jusque dans Afternoon Creek sans causer de dommages.
