Evaluation of the Slope Stability under Geological Conditions Using Multi-Factorial Fuzzy Classification System

Morteza Niromand; Reza Mikaeil; Mehran Advay; Masoud Zare Naghadehi

Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 23 January 2024

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.13897.2586

Abstract
  Slope instability can occur due to external loads such as earthquakes, explosions, and pore pressures. In addition, under natural conditions, slope instability can be caused by factors such as the erosion of some parts of the slope due to water or wind currents and the gradual rise of groundwater levels. ...  Read More
