Toppling deformation characteristics of rock masses with different depths on the bank slope.
| Standard of classification | Disintegration and relaxing deformation zone | Strong toppling deformation zone | Weak toppling deformation zone |
| Dip angle (°) | 0–20 | 20–40 | 40–60 | Variation of dip angle (°) | 50–70 | 30–50 | 15–30 | Maximum tensile length (cm) | 5–20 | 1–5 | <1 | Unloading deformation characteristics | Strong unloading, much relaxed | Strong unloading, relaxed | Weak unloading, locally relaxed | Weathering degree | Strong weathered | Strong weathered-weak weathered | Weak weathered |
