slope stability
1Slope stability — The field of slope stability encompasses the analysis of static and dynamic stability of slopes of earth and rock fill dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. [… …
2Slope stability radar — The Slope Stability Radar (SSR) is a new application for the monitoring of slope stability at open cut mines. It is a system currently in use across the global mining and civil industries. Slope stability is a critical safety and production issue …
3Vegetation and slope stability — are interrelated by the ability of the plant life growing on slopes to both promote and hinder the stability of the slope. The relationship is a complex combination of the type of soil, the rainfall regime, the plant species present, the slope… …
