A semi-analytical approach utilising limit analysis for slope stability assessment and optimal design

An analytical upper bound method of limit analysis is adopted to derive generalized formulations for assessing the stability of slopes made of geomaterials obeying both the linear Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and the non-linear Hoek-Brown failure criterion. The thesis is aimed at seeking slope pro...
