TAN Wen-hui, XIE Mo-wen, CAI Mei-feng. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional limit equilibrium
analyses of complex slope stability[J]. 2005, 26(S2).DOI:
2D limit equilibrium method is widely used. But it isn’t enough for slopes with complex conditions of geology
groundwater
rock structure etc. 3D effect is ignored in 2D analysis
while it has great effect on complex slopes. However
3D limit equilibrium method is not perfect at present. Therefore
a synthetical method of using both 2D and 3D limit equilibrium methods is proposed to analyze a practical slope stability. The result shows it is a good method for complicated slopes.
