A Study about the Stability Analysis of the Embankment on the Inclined Subsurface

Slope analysis of embankments by means of finite eiement method (II)

Abstract

When we perform the stability analysis of the practical slope, we have to use the method of analysis which conforms to the condition of the slope. When we investigate the stability of the embankment on the inclined subsurface, we have to consider the condition of the boundary between the embankment and the natural ground.
In this study, the stability analysis of the above slope is performed using the method which was presented in the previous paper. That is; the boundary between the embankment and the natural ground is represented by the joint element.
As a result, the safty factor considering the condition of the boundary between the embankment and the natural ground can be shown in that way. And it is shown that the effects of the bench cut on the stability of the slope might be considered concretely.
