Abstract: Different from the conventional transfer coefficient method widely used for calculating landslide thrust, the vector sum method can incorporate the complete stress state from any numerical simulation into a limit equilibrium ...

Abstract: The vector-sum method (VSM) is advanced by considering the vector characteristics. As a cost of this advantage, a predefined global sliding direction is required, which has been a key issue for the application of the VSM. ...
