In this paper the limit equilibrium method of stability analysis of embankments and slopes is considered in terms of the indeterminacy of the problem. At the same time, various ways of making assumptions to make the problem a determinate one are also considered. A method of stability analysis is proposed. It shows that the shear strength on internal shear surfaces has an effect on the computed factor of safety. This method is useful in analyzing actual slips in nature. In the example case it produces results compatible with those arising from the plasticity theory.read more

State of the Art: Limit Equilibrium and Finite-Element Analysis of Slopes
TL;DR: In the past 25 years great strides have been made in the area of static stability and deformation analysis as discussed by the authors, and the widespread availability of microcomputers has brought about considerable change in the computational aspects of slope stability analysis.

Strength of jointed rock masses
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple empirical failure criterion is presented and its application in engineering design is illustrated by means of a number of practical examples, and the authors summarize some of the basic information upon which such simplifying assumptions can be made.

Numerical analysis of initiation and progressive failure in natural rock slopes—the 1991 Randa rockslide
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the concept of progressive failure and the numerical modelling of rock mass strength degradation in natural rock slopes using the Randa rockslide as a working example.

Developments in the characterization of complex rock slope deformation and failure using numerical modelling techniques
TL;DR: In this article, a series of rock slope deformation and failure analysis using three levels of sophistication is presented. But the authors focus on the use of the Level III hybrid continuum and discontinuum codes with fracture simulation capabilities, which are applicable to a wide spectrum of failure modes.

Prediction of seismic slope stability through combination of particle swarm optimization and neural network
TL;DR: It was found that the PSO–ANN technique can predict FOS with higher performance capacities compared to ANN and R2 values of testing datasets equal to 0.915 and 0.986 suggest the superiority of thePSO– ANN technique.
