3D ultimate limit state analysis using discontinuity layout optimization
The recently developed discontinuity layout optimization (DLO) procedure uses limit analysis theory to directly obtain upper bounds on plane strain collapse loads of bodies and has successfully been applied to geotechnical problems. In this thesis, a new three-dimensional formulation of DLO is descr...
