Discrete element study of a complex block-flexural toppling failure in a rock slope

Evidence of a complex failure mechanism which involved both a distinct planar sliding surface, in addition to block-flexural toppling has contributed to the instability at a UK slate quarry. The failure was investigated using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The...
