Dynamic response and failure process of horizontal-layered fractured structure rock slope under strong earthquake
Rock slope with horizontal-layered fractured structure (HLFS) has high stability in its natural state. However, a strong earthquake can induce rock fissure expansion, ultimately leading to slope failure. In th...
