Abstract: The kinematical approach of limit analysis has been historically employed to assess slope stability in the geotechnical community, for which most three-dimensional (3D) failure mechanisms are generally based on a composite ...

Abstract: Semianalytical or analytical models for calculating active and passive earth pressure coefficients for undrained soil–wall systems subjected to head rotation are rare. To fill this gap, this study proposes a semianalytical ...

Abstract: Stability analysis of slopes subjected to steady infiltration is a hot topic in geotechnical engineering. However, the existing three-dimensional (3D) upper-bound limit analyses of unsaturated rotational slopes failed to ...

Abstract: In this work, the stability of a reinforced tunnel face is examined by combining the homogenization method with the kinematic approach of limit analysis. A three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous and anisotropic failure ...
