Slope stability is one of the most important topics of engineering geology with a background of more than 300 years. So far, various stability assessment techniques have been developed which include a range of simple evaluations, planar failure, limit state criteria, limit equilibrium analysis, numerical methods, hybrid and high-order approaches which are implemented in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) space. In the meantime, limit equilibrium methods due to their simplicity, short analysis time, coupled with probabilistic and statistics functions to estimate the safety factor (F.S), probable slip surface, application on different failure mechanisms, and varied geological conditions has been received special attention from researchers. The presented paper provides a review to limit equilibrium methods used for discontinuous rock slope stability analyses with different failure mechanisms of natural and cut slopes. The article attempted to provide a systematic review for rock slope stability analysis outlook based on limit equilibrium approaches.

Engineering geological investigations along the Iliksu Tunnels, Alanya, southern turkey
Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-01)
The main objective of this study is to assess the engineering geological characteristics of the rock mass and to suggest appropriate support recommendations along the two autoroad tunnel projects, named as Iliksu 1 and lliksu 2, which are located along the Antalya-Alanya Highway. The study area consists of pelitic schist and calc schist overlain by a thick sequence of recrystallized limestone and an intercalation of pelitic schist, calc schist and graphite schist. The tunnel ground support types and categor...
Engineering geological and geotechnical site characterization and determination of the seismic hazards of Upper Pliocene and Quaternary deposits situated towars the west of Ankara
Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2006)
The purpose of this study is to assess the engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene and Quaternary deposits located towards the west of Ankara. Based on a general engineering geological and seismic characterization of the site, site classification systems are assigned for seismic hazard assessment studies. The objective of the research is to determine the regional and local seismic soil conditions, predominant periods and ground ampl...
Geotechnical rock-mass evaluation of the Anamur dam site, Turkey
Ozsan, A; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 1996-03-01)
This paper describes a feasibility-level geotechnical evaluation carried out at Anamur dam site, in terms of stability analysis of dam foundation, excavation slopes and a diversion tunnel. The proposed Anamur dam will be built across the Anamur river on the Alanya metamorphic series which consists of phyllite, schist and slate units at the site. Geotechnical investigations included drilling for core, pumping tests, sampling for laboratory testing, and a detailed discontinuity survey.
Numerical modeling of balçova geothermal field
Polat, Can; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010)
The aim of this study is to construct a numerical reservoir model for Balçova geothermal field, which is located in the İzmir bay area of the Aegean coast. A commercial numerical simulation program, TOUGH2 was utilized with a graphical interface, PETRASIM to model the Balçova geothermal field. Natural state modeling of the field was carried out based on the conceptual model of the field, then history matching of production – injection practices of the field was established for the period of 1996 – 2008. The...
Flooding analysis and slope stability assessment due to a confined aquifer in the Elbistan-Çöllolar open cast mine
Yoncacı, Selin; Tutluoğlu, Levent; Department of Mining Engineering (2009)
Groundwater can be a critical issue to be considered in civil engineering, mining engineering and interdisciplinary fields. Karstic structures and aquifers enclosing groundwater are potential risks in case they are not studied in detail. Enclosed groundwater can result in floods at pit bottom or can cause instabilities of permanent pit slopes. This study is about analyses of flooding possibility at the pit bottom and possible instabilities of pit slopes in the Elbistan-Çöllolar open cast coal mine due to th...
