The Analysis of the Stability of General Slip Surfaces

Morgenstern, N. R., Price, V. E.·1965·Géotechnique

Abstract

Synopsis Within the framework of limit equilibrium methods of stability analysis, no restriction need be placed at the outset upon the shape of the possible slip surface. In many cases, the critical surface may deviate significantly from a circle or a plane and therefore a method that facilitates the analysis of surfaces of arbitrary shape is of interest. A method for doing this is presented. The assumptions necessary to make the problem statically determinate are discussed. The solution of the governing equations ensures that all equilibrium and boundary conditions are satisfied. The method has been programmed for a digital computer and some examples of its application are given. Comparisons are also made with other methods of analysis. Dans la cadre des méthodes d'équilibre limite d'analyse de stabilité, il n'y a pas besoin d'imposer de restrictions au départ sur la forme de la surface de glissement éventuelle. Dans bien des cas, la surface critique peut dévier d'une manière significative d'un cercle ou d'un plan at par conséquent une méthode qui facilite l'analyse des surfaces de formes arbitraires présente un intérêt. On présente une méthode pour accomplir cela. On discute des hypothèses nécessaires pour que le problème soit déterminé au point de vue de la statique. La solution des équations dominantes garantit que toutes les conditions d'équilibre et de limite soient satisfaites. La méthode a été programmée pour une calculatrice digitale et on donne quelques examples de ses applications. D'autres méthodes d'analyse y son comparées.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
