Abstract: A force-based limit equilibrium analysis is presented for the stability of a general two-dimensional, two-wedge sliding mass of soil, including a vertical or nonvertical wedge interface. The analysis is conducted using ...

Abstract: Closed-form analytical solutions are presented for the critical failure plane angle and maximum total reinforcement force in a geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) retaining wall, as obtained from a general force equilibrium ...

Abstract: A force-based limit equilibrium analysis is presented for the stability of a two-dimensional, three-wedge sliding mass of soil with vertical interfaces between the wedges. The analysis is conducted using five failure planes ...

Abstract: A force-based limit-equilibrium analysis is presented for the stability of a general two-dimensional, three-wedge sliding mass of soil with vertical or nonvertical interfaces between the wedges. The analysis is conducted ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for the active force on a retaining wall from a single wedge of unreinforced soil, as obtained from a general Coulomb-type limit equilibrium analysis. The solutions can accommodate variable ...

Abstract: Ambiguities, inconsistencies, and recommended interpretations of the commonly cited definition of validation for computational fluid dynamics codes/models are examined. It is shown that the ...
