Computer Applications in Geotechnical Engineering (CAGE) and Geotechnical Aspects of the Computer-Aided Structural Engineering (G-CASE) projects. User's Guide: UTEXAS2 Slope-Stability Package. Volume 2. Theory

Abstract

This report describes the theory of a two-dimensional slope-stability analysis and covers the mechanics of limit-equilibrium procedures that utilize the wedge and slices methods. The mechanics of the four different procedures contained in the computer program UTEXAS2 (University of Texas Analysis of Slopes - version 2) are discussed as well as sources of potential errors. The limit-equilibrium equations and the calculation procedures used in the program are described in an appendix. Keywords: Soil mechanics, Army corps of engineers, Algorithms, Equations.
