Flexural toppling occurs when a series of layered rock masses bend towards their free face.It is important to evaluate the maximum bending degree and the requirement of supports of flex-ural toppling rock mass to prevent rock mass cracking and even failure leading to a landslide.Based on the rock tensile strain-softening model,this study proposes a method for calculating the maximum cur-vature(Cppmax)of flexural toppling rock masses.By applying this method to calculate Cppm-of 9 types of rock masses with different hardness and rock layer thickness,some conclusions are drawn:(1)the in-ternal key factors affecting Cppmax are E*(E*=Egs/E0,where E0 and Ess are the mean deformation moduli of the rock before and after reaching its peak tensile strength,respectively),the strain εt corresponding to the tensile strength of rock,and the thickness(h)of rock layers;(2)hard rock layers are more likely to develop into block toppling than soft rock layers;and(3)thin rock layers are more likely to remain in flexural toppling state than thick rock layers.In addition,it is found that Cppmax for flexural toppling rock masses composed of bedded rocks such as gneiss is related to the tensile direction.
