STABILITY ANALYSIS IN GEOMECHNICAL BY LINEAR PROGRAMMING. II: APPLICATION

The paper investigates the accuracy and range of applicability of the kinematic formulation (described in the first of this 2-part paper) using varius numerical examples. Problems in bearing capacity and slope stability, with materials possessing pore-water pressure and homogeneous or inhomogeneous properties are presented. The computed results are compared with results available in the literature, including those by limit equlibrium methods, exact solutions, and other upper-bound solutions. The computed results agree well with analytical values and other numerical results.
