Two sections of Northern Michigan’s iconic Tunnel of Trees have been closed since April due to damage caused by historic ...

Based on their findings, the researchers noted there are practical solutions that could have prevented collapse of the embankment slope investigated in this study. Their recommendations include using ...

Rock slope failures pose significant challenges in geotechnical engineering due to the intricate nature of rock masses, discontinuities, and various destabilizing factors during and after excavation.

A stretch of State Highway 13 in Mendota Heights, Minn. was closed Tuesday as crews inspected the site of a slope failure. When it comes to staying informed in Minnesota, our newsletters overdeliver.

This study presents a probabilistic failure assessment model for bolt-stabilized pro-dip slopes, explicitly addressing the critical yet overlooked shear effect in conventional stability analyses.

More than two years before a Target store West Virginia partially collapsed earlier this month, a federal study predicted that such an event was very likely, according to a local news outlet. The ...
