Shear-creep-induced strength degradation of soft–hard interbedded rock masses controlled by layer-thickness ratio: implications for progressive failure of anti-dip slopes

Journal article examining how shear creep reduces strength in soft–hard interbedded rock masses and how layer-thickness ratio controls that degradation. The paper links these mechanics to progressive failure of anti-dip slopes.
