Résumé : | Keywords: chart methods; finite element method (FEM); method of slices; plane surfaces; seepage force; slope stability; stability analysis; water stressSummaryThere are two aspects to slope stability: the safety against failure and the movement under normal conditions. The main issue is safety against failure; therefore, slope stability analysis consists of calculating the factor of safety. Other issues include slope monitoring and slope stabilization methods. The simplest case of slope stability is the case where the slope is infinitely long. The seepage force is the force exerted in friction by water flowing around soil particles and trying to drag them away. The infinite slope is a case of a plane surface. When the soil is uniform and a circular failure surface is assumed, the problem is simple enough that the factor of safety can be determined from charts. The method of slices avoids some of the limitations associated with the chart methods. The finite element method (FEM) can be used to analyze the stability of slopes. |
