| description | Most geotechnical engineers focus on ground strength and stability. However, when determining stability by analyzing the exact strength of the ground, the failure surface is essential. Nevertheless, limited studies have been conducted on the methods to determine the exact failure surface of the ground. This study shows that the failure surface and plastic area can be analyzed using the slip line method based on the slip line and lower bound analysis. To improve existing studies limited to single ground, we analyzed the failure area of heterogeneous ground conditions. The results of the slip line method were compared and verified through FELM, a finite element analysis method to which a lower limit analysis was applied. As a result, the failure area and maximum internal stress according to the ground properties and the slope angle are presented. In addition, the points of the slip line method and the finite element limit analysis are summarized. Finally, we propose limitations and solutions when applying the slip line method to the slope. |
