Stability of rocks on mild slopes

Since the behaviour of damage formation on steep slopes varies from mild slopes, a comprehensive definition of damage needs to be established for different situations. Knowledge about the transition of rock stability between steep and mild slopes is lacking. This study presents a reliable and efficient design method. The goal of this study is to...

The stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack

The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated by this research. First it was checked whether there are any numerical models that could be used to describe the stability of mild slopes. As such, there is no existing model at this moment that can accurately model the stability of mild slopes. To model this...

Stability of stones on mild slopes

The static stability of stones on mild slopes under wave attack is investigated in this research. The first part of the research is focused on reproducing the physical scale model tests regarding profile change of Kramer (2016) numerically with the model XBeach-G. The erosion profiles modelled with the bed-load transport formulas of Nielsen ...
