A stable CS-FEM for the static and seismic stability of a single square tunnel in the soil where the shear strength increases linearly with depth

A numerical procedure using a stable cell-based smoothed finite element method (CS-FEM) is presented for estimation of stability of a square tunnel in the soil where the shear strength increases linearly with depth. The kinematically admissible displacement fields are approximated by uniform quadril...
