Although limit equilibrium methods are widely used by engineers and scientists in predicting the stability of homogenous slopes, their use has been demonstrated to present significant errors due violation kinematic static admissibility. The concern is often voiced regarding accuracy (LEMs) solutions slopes. There no exact or charts available that could be check LEMs solutions. study rigorous up...

seepage in earth fill dams is one of the important factors that may cause the erosion and slope instability if it is ignored. therefore, it is crucial to calculate the leakage discharge through the body of dam and foundation, to prevent economic and life hazards by considering technical and economical issues. in this research, the seepage analysis of the body and the stability of the upstream a...

The applicability of the dynamic programming method to two-dimensional slope stability analyses is studied. The critical slip surface is defined as the slip surface that yields the minimum value of an optimal function. The only assumption regarding the shape of the critical slip surface is that the surface is an assemblage of linear segments. Stresses acting along the critical slip surface are ...

The 3D point clouds obtained from the low-cost, remote, and precise SfM (Structure Motion) technique allow extraction acquisition of discontinuities their characteristics both manually, with compass virtual ruler Cloud Compare software, automatically DSE (Discontinuity Set Extractor) program, which is faster, more accurate, safe. Some control plans have been used, basically consist identifying ...
