Application of Markov chains in the prediction of rock slopes degradation

In this paper it is proposed a degradation model for rock slopes, which will integrate a global tool for sustainable management of road infrastructures, currently under development. The proposed model is based on a continue-time Markov chain and predicts the evolution of a Slope Quality Index (SQI)...
