Undrained stability of a spherical cavity in cohesive soils using finite element limit analysis

A parametric study of undrained stability of a spherical cavity in clays is investigated by finite element limit analysis with an axisymmetric condition. Influences of cover depth ratio of cavity and dimensionless overburden factor on predicted failure mechanisms and dimensionless load factor are ex...
