Excerpt

Flexural toppling is a mode of slope failure involving the overturning of interacting rock columns formed by a single set of discontinuities which strike more or less parallel to the slope and dip into the rock mass. In the analysis, the rock columns may be visualised as an array of cantilever beams, which bends under its own weight and transfers load to the underlying rock. When the induced tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of the rock layer in the toe region, layer fracturing starts in this region and may lead to a progressive slope failure. …
