CFVR3208 - Slope stability from FEM analysis
Slope stability analysis from FEM analysis results.
A plane model as shown in the figure is used to check the slope stability analysis from FEM analysis results.
The model is made off four layers of materials with the following dry specific weight (from top to bottom):
- 12600 N/m2
- 14400 N/m2
- 11200 N/m2
- 9000 N/m2
The only action on the structure is its self weight.
