Bank collapse-landslide failure mechanism of typical reverse rock bank slope in Three Gorges Reservoir area by Yang LI, Hailin ZHAO, Bolin HUANG, Honglin LI, Kaikai XU

“…Before slip, when the cumulative bending angle of the bedding plane of the rock beam at the top of the erosion area reaches 15°～23° under the extrusion of the overlying load, the unloading cracks at the trailing edge of the slope develop, and further penetrate to form a sliding surface with a depth of about 2.5～3 times deeper than that of the erosion area. The scale of landslide failure is positively correlated with the erosion depth of slope toe. …”
