A temperature- and stress-controlled failure criterion for ice-filled permafrost rock joints

<p>Instability and failure of high mountain rock slopes have significantly increased since the 1990s coincident with climatic warming and are expected to rise further. Most of the observed failures in permafrost-affected rock walls are likely triggered by the mechanical destabilisation of...
