Mass Earth Movement and Treatment Feasibility Study.

Abstract

The basic concept of desaggregation is to develop a state of failure in soil media by a centre of pressure located at a convenient depth below the surface of the soil mass. The basic problem is presented in an analytical form which yields approximate solutions for the pressures required to cause failure in the medium at different depths of the centre of pressure and with different diameters of the pressure cavity. The consequences of the approximations are discussed and an altogether new theory is developed. The results of an application of this theory to the failure of a granular material are shown and a comparison with results obtained by the approximate analytical solution is made.
