Optimization Model for Determining Safety Factor and Thrust Line in Landslide Assessments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When the limit-equilibrium method is employed in the stability assessment of complicated landslides, some eccentric results are often encountered with the use of rigorous methods. These eccentric results may be attributable ...
Improved Equal-<i>K</i> Method for Evaluation of Stability of Gravity Dams against Sliding along Deep-Failure Surfaces in Foundation: Case Study in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A newly built roller-compacted concrete gravity dam is located on the Yalongjiang River in southwest China. Complex geological conditions greatly puzzled the designers of the project. There are abundant joints within the ...
Phreatic Surface Calculation and Stability Analysis of Three-Dimensional Bank Slopes with Reservoir Drawdown
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Among all factors affecting the stability of soil slopes, the effects of seepage, and especially drawdown, have long been a topic of study. This paper proposed a novel method for predicting the phreatic surface of ...
