THREE-DIMENSIONAL SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS BY SLICE METHODS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 11-15 APRIL 1988, INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA. VOLUMES 1 - 3

In order to analyze three-dimensional (3-d) slope stability, new 3-d slice methods are proposed by extending the Fellenius method, the simplified Bishop method, the simplified Janbu method, and Spencer's method to three dimensions. Calculations are carried out to analyze 3-d effects on simple slopes that have a finite failure width. The applicability of these methods to practical cases, (landslides) and the results of small-scale model tests are discussed. (TRRL)
