| Summary: | The flexural buckling failure is a relatively common instability phenomenon in rock slopes both at the small and large scale. It poses a serious threat to the normal operation and maintenance of nearby infrastructure and the life and property safety of surrounding residents. A profound understanding of the deformation and failure mechanism of flexural buckling, as well as the development of quantitative approaches for buckling stability analyses, are of great significance for the risk identification and control of buckling landslides. This study combines the literature relevant to flexural buckling of rock slopes by systematically reviewing the research progress and trends from 1970 to 2023, following the research path of “triggering mechanism → analysis methods”. Based on this proposition, the intrinsic and triggering factors that influence the deformation process of flexural buckling failure in dip rock slopes are detailed and clarified. Then, the main progress achieved in physical, analytical, and numerical modelling regarding the stability and run-out analysis of buckling landslides is comprehensively introduced. Finally, this study provides some outlooks for future research and practice in the field of buckling landslides. |
