Slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method and two finite element methods
Abstract In this paper, the factors of safety and critical slip surfaces obtained by the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and two finite element methods (the enhanced limit strength method (ELSM) and strength reduction method (SRM)) are compared. Several representative two-dimensional slope examples are analysed. Using the associated flow rule, the results showed that the two finite element methods were generally in good agreement and that the LEM yielded a slightly lower factor of safety than the two finite element methods did. Moreover, a key condition regarding the stress field is shown to be necessary for ELSM analysis.
