From Corrosion to Collapse: Spatiotemporal Evolution of Local Stability in Anchored Anti-Dip Slopes
Ya-Hui Zhang
The long-term stability of anchored anti-dip slopes in hydropower and mining projects is threatened by corrosion-induced degradation of rock bolt systems. Existing deterministic models relying on global safety factors fail to capture localized failure mechanisms and inherent geotechnical uncertainties. This study aims to develop a probabilistic framework for assessing the spatiotemporal stability evolution of such slopes under progressive bolt corrosion. A novel Factor of Local Safety (FoLS) is
