NEW METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR STABILITY OF SLOPES
The stability of soil and rock masses has been so far calculated either assuming the limit equilibrium of part of mass sliding as rigid body or calculating internal stress and deformation using, in general, numerical solutions such as the finite element method and assuming the mass to be an elasto-visco-plastic material. In the paper the first method is generalized from one sliding surface to any configuration of sliding blocks with cohesion and friction at contact points. The coefficient of safety calculated in this case by mathematical programming can be compared with that calculated by the element method using the same strength characteristics (friction and cohesion).
