NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FAILURE MODES IN SLOPES WITH MULTI-STEPS USING SHEAR STRENGTHEN REDUCTION FDM
-
Abstract
An elasto-plastic shear strength reduction FDM is used to analyze the stability of slope with multi-steps. The numerical results show that the shape and position of the slip surface are related to width of the steps. Moreover, the width of the steps affect the failure mode and safety factor significantly. Some conclusions are put forward.
