The kinematic approach of limit analysis is explored in three-dimensional
3D stability analysis of slopes. A formal derivation is first shown indicating that, in a general case, the approach yields an upper bound to the critical height of the slope or an ...

<p>This paper presents the results of research on (1) the efficient design of embedded anti-slide piles, (2) the stability analysis of reservoir slopes with strength reduction theory, and (3) the determination of the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations ...
