Abstract

This paper discusses stability analysis of inclined and inhomogeneous cohesive slopes with finite length. The method of analysis is based on three-dimensional limit equilibrium techniques and variational calculus. The three-dimensional stability factors were calculated as the functions of the ratio of failure length (perpendicular to cross section) to slope height, slope angle and factor of inhomogeneity. Based on these calculations the three-dimensional stability charts were presented. The solutions obtained here give the upper bounds of the problem in limit analysis.
