| Zusammenfassung: | The shear strength reduction technique has a number of advantages over the method of slices for slope stability analysis. Most importantly, the critical failure surface is found automatically. In this paper, factors of safety obtained with the shear strength reduction technique are compared to limit analysis solutions for a homogeneous embankment. Strength reduction results were generally slightly higher than those predicted by limit analysis. (Abstract quotes from original text) |
