FEM Modelling of Thin Weak Layers in Slope Stability Analysis

Modelling the presence and the effect of a thin weak layer of soil or rock in a slope stability analysis performed through the finite element method (FEM) presents several problems of purely numerical nature. This paper deals with a parametric analysis of three different 2D numerical case studies (b...
