Abstract

In this study, the applicability of the finite element method in the analysis of slope stability problems was investigated. The manuscript describes the soil properties which required to adequately modeling the soil behaviour and the slope failure. Strength reduction techniques and the definition of slope collapse are also discussed. Plaxis FE program was used to perform the slope stability analyses and Mohr-Coulomb soil model was selected to model the soil behaviour. Several slopes are analyzed with the finite element method, and the results compared with outcomes from various limit equilibrium methods. Conclusions for the practical use of the finite element method are also given.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, sonlu elemanlar yönteminin, şev stabilitesi problemlerinin analizinde uygulanabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, zemin davranışı ve şev göçmesinin modellenmesi için gerekli olan zemin özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca mukavemet azaltma tekniği ve şev göçmesinin tanımı konularından bahsedilmiştir. Sonlu elemanlar yöntemi ile şev stabilite analizleri yapmak amacıyla Plaxis bilgisayar programı kullanılmış ve zemin davranışı modellemesi için Mohr-Coulomb modeli seçilmiştir. Çalışmada, sonlu elemanlar yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilen sonuçlar literatürdeki farklı limit denge yöntemleri ile karşılaştırılarak gerekli öneriler yapılmıştır.
