Rockfall at Karita-san, Nagano in 1992 : instability of an andesite quarry face

Auteurs :

AOKI, H.

Description :
The cause of this collapse has been studied from the viewpoint of engineering geology. The works (1992) have pointed out that tension cracking behind the cliff could increase its instability. However, no quantitative analysis of the effect of tension cracking was given using slope instability analysis. This paper provides quantitative analysis, with emphasis on the effect of tension cracking.
