Method to Realize the Tilt Monitoring and Instability Prediction of Hazardous Rock on Slopes by Zheng He, Mowen Xie, Zhengjun Huang, Guang Lu, Bo Yan, Jianfei Wang

“…In the rapid acceleration stage, the reciprocal of the tilt angle rate is approximately linear with time, and a correlation equation is obtained. Assuming that the change rate of the tilt angle is approximately infinite, the failure time of hazardous rock can be predicted using the correlation equation. …”
