Three-dimensional stability analysis of convex slopes in plan view / Farzaneh, Orang in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 134 n°8 (Août 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering > Vol. 134 n°8 (Août 2008) . - pp. 1192–1200 Titre : Three-dimensional stability analysis of convex slopes in plan view Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Farzaneh, Orang, Auteur ; Faradjollah Askari, Auteur ; Navid Ganjian, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 1192–1200 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Slope  stability  Limit  analysis  Algorithms Résumé : A method of three-dimensional slope stability analysis for convex slopes in plan view is presented here based on the upper-bound theorem of the limit analysis approach. The method can also be used to determine the bearing capacity of foundations adjacent to such slopes. A rigid-block translational collapse mechanism is considered in which energy dissipation takes place along planar velocity discontinuities. Comparing the bearing capacity of foundations, numerical results indicate that the one located near convex slopes has less capacity than the one located near straight slopes. Inversely, slopes not subjected to surcharge loads are more stable when they are convex. Concerning the bearing capacity analyses, consideration of the curvature effect of convex slopes is more significant in frictional soils whereas for slope stability analyses, mentioned effect is of prime importance in cohesive soils. Numerical results of proposed algorithm are presented in the form of nondimensional graphs.
