Finite element versus limit equilibrium stability analyses for surface excavations
Limit equilibrium methods are widely and routinely used in practice. In several codes, limit equilibrium methods are recommended to evaluate the stability of a lateral support systems, such as soil-nails and anchors, to an acceptable defined factor of safety. For decades, limit equilibrium method...
