Analytical results of the stability of some limestone islands in ha long bay, Guang Ninh Province of Vietnam, a world natural heritage

Abstract EN

-The analytical results of the failure types of six limestone islands in the Ha Long bay of Vietnam have been identified.

The calculated results of safety factor for 03 plane failure blocks lie within 0.9 and 2, have high potential failure.

The analytical results have been also simulated these islands in three-dimensional space and have been also analyzed their potential failure on the fracture surfaces.

The results obtained in this paper have important significance for planning and development of the Ha Long bay area, as World Natural Heritage, Quang Ninh province of Vietnam.
