Abstract
Concentrated loads, in particular when horizontal, are not properly taken into account in the simple methods of slope stability analysis such as Bishop's method. It is therefore proposed to replace in Bishop's equations any surcharge by a statically equivalent stress distribution on the failure surface. For reasons of simplicity, this distribution is taken according to Flamant, slightly modified to fit stress distributions obtained from finite element studies. An application is presented in the form of the optimization of a slope stabilization by tie-backs. [Journal translation]
