This paper presents a three-dimensional slope stability limit equilibrium solution for translational planar failure modes. The proposed uses Bishop’s average skeleton stress combined with the Mohr–Coulomb criterion to describe soil strength evolution under unsaturated conditions while its formulation ensures natural and smooth transition from saturated regime vice versa. analytical is evaluated...

This paper presents the results of a numerical analysis impact rock mass geomechanical parameters on stability preparatory headings located within Legnica-Glogow Copper District. The shows calculations prepared for driven in two types with different strength and deformation parameters, which allow illustrating their influence safety mining performed underground copper ore mines. Numerical model...

Calculation of lateral earth pressure on retaining walls is one of the main issues in geotechnics. The upper and lower bound theorems of plasticity are used to analyze the stability of geotechnical structures include bearing capacity of foundations, lateral earth pressure on retaining walls and factor of safety of slopes. In this paper formulation of finite element limit analysis is introduced ...

limitations in the design method used for the support systems of urban buildings make them vulnerable to damage by adjacent excavations. this paper examines a traditional system used to support excavation sites and adjacent buildings in which inclined struts are connected to the wall or foundation of the adjacent building. this method can be considered to be a type of shoring or underpinning. t...

The safety factor of rock mass surrounding tunnel can be determined using the strength reduction method (SRM), furthermore, it is very important to solve criterion critical state. For stability estimation tunnel, there need discuss that preferable use same criteria for slope stability, such as non-convergence finite element calculation, penetration plastic strain and sudden change horizontal di...
