Comparison of zero-stress contours to surface erosion for excavated slopes in stratified rock
Abstract Erosion of a cut slope in stratified sandstone and siltstone over a ten-year period resulted in a surface profile conforming to the zero-stress contour calculated in the initial excavation. This paper shows the stress contours calculated using a two-dimensional finite-element analysis and the configuration of the eroded cut, demonstrating that the calculated zero-stress contour may be used to predict the equilibrium surface of the excavation.
