| Abstract | This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award funds research that intends to intends to identify and quantify factors contributing to the instability of jointed rock slopes. Rock slope failures pose significant risks to lives, infrastructure, and economies. These slopes are made of structured rock masses, which include intact rock blocks (rock matrix) intersected by natural fractures. Predicting the stability of such slopes is difficult due to the complex interactions between the rock mat |
