Abstract: The stability of long horseshoe tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils is examined by using lower bound finite element limit analysis. Its stability is assessed by determining the magnitude of uniform internal normal pressure ...

Abstract: This study describes a technique for reducing the computational effort for performing linear optimization while solving any geotechnical stability problem with the use of the lower bound finite-element limit analysis. In ...

Abstract: The vertical pullout capacity of strip and circular plate anchors embedded horizontally in a layered sandy medium was computed by using the plane strain and axisymmetric lower-bound limit analyses in combination with finite ...

Abstract: The vertical and lateral pullout capacity of a long pipeline buried in a cohesionless soil nearby sloping ground has been investigated by using lower-bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear ...

Abstract: The variation of pullout capacity of vertical strip anchor plates with width was studied while considering the effect of mean normal stress on the peak friction angle in a granular soil domain. This analysis was performed ...
