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

Anti-dip slopes with gently dipping soft–hard interbedded strata (GD-SHIS anti-dip slopes) may exhibit relatively high resistance under short-term cross-layer shearing. However, sustained shear loading can induce soft-layer deformation, shear-parameter degradation, and delayed pr...
