In this test, with consideration of the stress capacity of the ring shear apparatus, the initial slope angle of the Donghekou complex slide was maintained, while the thickness of the sliding mass was reduced significantly.
To eliminate errors caused by variances in thickness of slides and cellularity of areas investigated, the ratio of apoptotic to mitotic indices was calculated in each tumour.
Additionally, ratio-based FISH predictors are advantaged as they are less dependent on the thickness of slides or nuclear truncation (see additional Supplementary Technical Notes).
The initial normal stress and shear stress were obtained from the slope angle, thickness of the sliding mass, and the unit weight of the soil/rock.
As we all know, if the thickness of a sliding mass on a slope is much smaller than the slope's length, the slope can be called an infinite slope.
The influences of sliding load, sliding frequency, film thickness and counter-ball materials on the tribological properties are also presented.
The thickness of the sliding material is 50 m in the main tension trough and decreases to several meters in the direction of sliding.
The slope angle of the source area is about 35°, and the average thickness of the initial sliding mass is about 1 m.
Considering the slope angle of the source area is 35°, and the thickness of the initial sliding mass is 1 m, the pore-water pressure of 4.0 kPa and 6.5 kPa mean that the groundwater levels are about 0.60 m and 0.97 m high, respectively, above the sliding surface.
The average thickness of the slide mass in the source area is about 75 m, with the maximum thickness of 110 m, and the total volume of the Donghekou rockslide is about 69 million m3.
