... are peculiar to volcanic debris residual soils which may affect the stability of such materials on slopes. An analysis of the slides shows the effects of components such as shear strength, pore water pressure and seismic loading. The presence of a cohesive component of strength related to bonding is confirmed...

...E. Leca; L. Dormieux With the recent increase in underground urban development as well as for transportation, tunnels need to be driven in increasingly difficult soil conditions. In most cases the ground itself is not stable and face stability is achieved by applying fluid pressure to the tunnel...

... theoretically starting from the strength data of the reinforced earth components, turns out to be of the anisotropic frictional type. This criterion is applied to the stability analysis of a reinforced earth wall, making use of the yield design kinematic approach with rigid block failure mechanisms...

...R. L. Michalowski A three-dimensional slope stability analysis for drained frictional-cohesive material based on the upper-bound technique of limit analysis is presented. A rigid-block toe or above-the-toe collapse mechanism is considered, with energy dissipation taking place along planar velocity...

The mechanism was developed to explain a welldocumented slope failure at an operating lignite mine in north-east Texas. Analyses with the improved...
