Factor of safety of strain-softening slopes

Stability analysis of strain-softening slopes is carried out using the shear strength reduction method and Mohr-Coulomb model with degrading cohesion and friction angle. The effect of strain-softening behavior on the slope factor of safety is investigated by performing a series of analyses for vario...
