Limit analysis takes advantage of the lower-and upper-bound theorem of plasticity to provide relatively simple but rigorous bounds on the true solution. In this paper, three nodded linear triang

Solutions are found by solving differential equations derived from condition of equilibrium, compatibility, and the constitutive relation of the soil, subjected to boundary condition. Traditionally, in soil mechanics, the theory of elasticity is used to set up the diffe

To obtain solution for loadings ranging from small to sufficiently large to cause collapse of a portion of the soil mass, a complete elastoplastic analysis considering the mechanical behavior o

From a practical standpoint, the primary focus of a stability problem is on the failure condition of the soil mass. Thus, pra

Solutions may be based on the slip-line method, the limit-equilibrium method, or limit analysi

Most limit-equilibrium method are based on the method of slices, in which a failure surface is assumed and the soil mass above the failure surface is divided into vertical slices. Global static-equilibrium
11、conditions for assumed failure surface are examined, and a critical slip surface is searched, for which the factor of safety is minimized. In the development of the limit-equilibrium method, efforts have focused on how to reduce the indeterminacy of the problem mainly by making assumptions on inter-

In limit-equilibrium, the equilibrium equations are not satisfied for every point in the soil mass. Additionally, the flow r

Limit analysis takes advantage of the upper-and lower-bound theorems of plasticity theory to bound the rigorous solution to a stability problem from below and above. Limit analysis solutions are rigorous in the sense that the stress field associated with a lower-bound solution is in
