Geotechnical Stability Analysis by Strength Reduction
The factor of safety of a slope can be computed with a finite element or finite difference code by reducing the soil shear strength in stages until the slope fails. The resulting factor of safety is the ratio of the soil's actual shear strength to the reduced shear strength at failure. This "shear-strength reduction technique" can also be applied to geotechnical stability problems such as cantilever walls, braced excavations and retaining walls. The strength reduction technique is demonstrated for several geotechnical stability problems, illustrating some of the advantages and limitations of the technique.
