Three-dimensional slope stability problem with a surcharge load

A semi-analytical solution for the three-dimensional stability analysis of the ultimate uniform patched load on top of a slope is developed by the limit analysis using kinematically admissible failure mechanisms. The failure mechanism which is assumed in the analytical solution is verified by three-...
