In the Ecuadorian Andes, episodic slope movements comprising shallow rotational and translational slides and rapid flows of debris and soil material are common. Consequently, not only considerable financial costs are ...

A slope stability model is derived for an infinite slope subjected to unsaturated infiltration flow above a phreatic surface. Closed form steady state solutions are derived for the matric suction and degree of saturation ...

Pseudo-static slope stability procedures are often employed to evaluate the seismic performance of geotechnical slope systems, at least in the initial evaluation stages. To yield meaningful results, these methods should ...

This article presents comments to the document 'Two-dimensional slope stability analysis by limit equilibrium and strength reduction methods'

Worldwide, slope stability analysis is fundamental to satisfy the increasingly societal demand for safe infrastructures and natural resources. The finite element method (FEM) presents many advantages over classic methods, ...
