What is it about?
In the current numerical models for evaluating block toppling of the jointed rock slopes under dynamic conditions, a single weak plane angle is assumed, running from the top surface and daylighting on the slope’s toe.

Why is it important?
The study could provide precise applications for predictive scenarios of dynamic toppling of the jointed rock slopes with counter-tilted weak planes.
Perspectives
The study results indicate that the counter-tilted weak planes play a major role in adjusting the earthquake ground motions thereby influencing the toppling displacement response behaviours, failure mechanisms and the rate of displacements for the jointed rock slope.
