Abstract
AbstractA two-dimensional finite element computer program has been used to compute the elastic stress distribution in realistic multi-layered snow packs. Computations have been done on three-layered and five-layered snow packs intended to simulate conditions on the Lift Gully at Berthoud Pass, Colorado. Calculations have been performed to determine the effect of a layer of new snow and the effect of a weak sub-layer. Stress levels were obtained which are reasonable compared with available snow strength data.
