Slope Stability Analysis of Earth-Rockfill Dams Using MGA and UST [PDF]
Journal of Computational Engineering, 2015 The nonlinear Unified Strength Theory (UST), which takes into account the effect of intermediate stress and nonlinear behavior on geotechnical strength, is applied in slope stability analysis of earth-rockfill dams (ERD) in this paper. The biggest drawback for general determination of slip surface is that it must presuppose the shape of slip surface ...
