Advances in Engineering Geology of Rocks and Rock Masses

Simone Mineo, Giovanna Pappalardo

Applied Sciences· Volume 13· Issue 3

Abstract

Slope instability phenomena are among the most hazardous natural events affecting our society, and therefore the physical–mechanical behavior of rock masses with reference to these is a relevant topic for engineering geological practice, as it conditions the realization and functionality of structures and infrastructures, as well as the quality of life and economy [...]
