“…A rockfall is a fragment of rock or a block detached by sliding, toppling, or falling, that falls along a vertical or sub-vertical cliff, proceeds downslope by bouncing and flying along trajectories or by rolling on talus or debris slopes [27]. RocFall program (Rocscience products since 1996) used in this study which is widely used in modeling the rockfall simulation problems [12,15,28]. The lumped mass analysis method accompanied by the software was used in this study.…”

Rock slope instability is major geohazards problems for both global and local. Geohazards phenomenon is the downward movement of rock blocks, debris or/and soil in response to gravitational stresses. The failures have classified according to the type of downslope movement either slides, rotational or flow [1]. One of the major causes of rock slope failure is the construction of the transportation system without a proper understanding of geological and geotechnical consideration of natural rock slopes [2-5]. Furthermore, lack of continuous monitoring and investigations of rock slope throughout the year especially before and after the rainy season. In results, these types of geohazards have been experienced throughout history when human or nature has disturbed the delicate balance of natural rock slopes [6-8]. Like all geohazards, the rockfall is a frequent and fastest types of the landslide and common in mountainous or hilly regions, especially steep cliff terrain area. In this phenomenon, a boulder or a small group of independently moving rocks become dislodged and moves downward from the natural or manmade rock slope surfaces

“…Therefore, there are various speci c methods for detailed slope stability assessment for potential modes of failures. Based on the a) geometrical properties of exposed discontinuities and the slope, b) geometrical relationship between the orientation of discontinuities and slope, the potential modes of failures (planar, wedge, and topple) in rock slopes can be evaluated (Aqeel et al 2018). To analyze the unstable discontinuos zones in rock slopes, various conventional methods i.e.…”

The road cut rock slope stability assessment along the Chamba-Bharmour road corridor of NH-154A has been carried out in present study based on the geological and geotechnical investigations as published In Journal Geological Society of India (Singh and Kumar 2020). The type of failure in the rock slopes has been identified using kinematic analysis based on Markland’s test. The factor of safety (FOS) of identified planar and a wedge failures was evaluated using method proposed by Hoek and Bray. Extensive field work has been performed for collecting rock samples and to record input parameters like joint orientations for stereonet plotting. A total of six out of fourteen potentially unstable rock slopes at different locations along the NH-154A have been taken into consideration for their stability analysis. The unstable rock slope sections L3R1, L16R8, L19R14, L27R12, and L29R13 fulfill the criteria for plane failure conditions while L16R8, L25R10, L26R11, L27R12, L29R13 fulfill the criteria for wedge failure. It has been found that the FOS was identified to be less than one for planar failure at two sites while the minimum value of FOS for planar failure at other two sites falls between 1.0–1.2. The FOS of the plane failure at a single site was evaluated as greater than 2. The wedge failures identified at five sites had FOS greater than one. The site specific mitigation and control measures have been evolved for critical rock cut slopes.
