Limit equilibrium slope stability analysis using rigid finite elements
Abstract
This paper revisits the interslice force assumptions associated with the method-of-slices approach to slope stability analysis. A brief review is presented on analysis procedures for this class of problem and a comparison is made between the factor of safety equations derived by Fellenius and a modified form of Bishop’s equation. A simplified rigid finite element method that takes into account progressive yielding through a sliding law is …
