Effects of degraded durability on the long-term stability of in-service slopes with reinforced concreted support structures.

Engineering slope stability issues typically exhibit the impact of deteriorating durability on the susceptibility of slopes to failure. A thorough investigation was essential to explore theoretical and experimental aspects of slope durability degradation and its implications on long-term stability. Hence, a durability model was developed to accommodate slope stabilization using reinforced concrete (RC) support structures.
