Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes (Methods) | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the two main methods used in stability analysis of finite slopes. The methods are: 1. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes – Culmann’s Method 2. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes Using the Swedish Circle Method. 1. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes – Culmann’s Method: Culmann (1866) considered a plane […]
Stability Analysis of Slopes of Earth Dams | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
The stability of slopes of earth dams is checked under the following conditions: 1. Downstream under Steady Seepage 2. Determination of Pore Pressure at the Bottom of each Slice 3. Upstream Slope under Sudden Drawdown 4. Upstream and d/s Slopes during and Immediately after Construction. 1. Stability of Downstream Slope under Steady Seepage: When the […]
