Analytical Results of the Stability of Some Limestone Islands in Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province of Vietnam, a World Natural Heritage

Research on the stability of limestone islands in Ha Long Bay reveals that three specific islands exhibit high potential for failure, with safety factors ranging between 0.9 and 2. The study utilized analytical methods to simulate these islands in three-dimensional space, assessing their vulnerability along fracture surfaces. These findings are crucial for the sustainable planning and development of Ha Long Bay, ensuring the preservation of its natural heritage status in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam.
