Abstract: For soil slopes susceptible to a potential failure, some preemptive measures in the form of reinforced structures are commonly adopted to improve stability. In this study, the seismic stability of a geosynthetic-reinforced ...

Abstract: This study presents a closed-form solution for kinematic stability of a two-stage slope with a strip footing placed near the slope crest of the layered soil strata. According to the upper-bound theorem of plasticity theory, ...

Abstract: A limit analysis of rigid retaining walls is presented to predict active/passive earth pressures for a flat backfill with a linear Mohr-Coulomb (MC) and nonlinear power-law yield criterion under seismic effect. The ...

Abstract: Seismic slope stability analysis is often limited by the ability to encompass specific earthquake characteristics, such as shaking amplitude, frequency, and time as well as varying soil properties, such as cohesion and ...

Abstract: This study addresses the challenge of numerically simulating nonlinear elastoplastic behavior in solid mechanics via the finite-volume method (FVM) that has not been traditionally dominant in the field. The study presents ...
