Limit Analysis of Slopes Reinforced with Multi-Directional Anchors

Article Preview

Abstract:

The upper-bound method of limit analysis combined with strength reduction technique is employed to analyze the stability of an earth slope reinforced with multi-directional anchors. A homogeneous and isotropic earth slope reinforced with two rows of anchors is considered. Attempts are made to obtain the optimal angles of anchors. Parametric studies show that, for homogeneous and isotropic slopes, the optimal angle of the first row of anchors is 0°; while the optimal angle of the second row of anchors varies with anchor positions, and generally is less than 15°.
