Finite element analysis of progressive failure: Two case studies
Abstract The strain softening behaviour of soils, coupled with non-uniform loading, may result in progressive failure. Numerical analysis using the finite element method is capable of investigating the generation and the effects of progressive failure. Problems arising in the modelling of strain softening are discussed. A non-linear elastic strain hardening/softening plastic model is used to analyse two embankment failures. In both cases, progressive failure was found responsible for a substantial reduction in the average operating strengths along the failure surface. Two distinct mechanisms of progressive failure generation were uncovered, emphasising the effect of the embankment geometry.
