Abstract: The evaluation of slope stability of a three-dimensional slope requires identifying the critical slip surface with the minimum factor of safety, which is a complex optimization problem. Failure to identify the critical ...

Abstract: A novel method involving the transformation of spline surfaces is introduced to search for the critical slip surface in a three-dimensional (3D) slope, which corresponds to the minimum limit equilibrium method factor of ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the behavior of simple soil slopes reinforced with geosynthetics using deterministic and stochastic as well as circular and noncircular limit equilibrium method (LEM) of slope stability ...
