Comparing the factors of safety from finite element and limit equilibrium analyses in lateral support design

Potgieter, Jean; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2019-12)

Soil-nails and anchors as means of lateral support in surface excavations require stability analyses as part of design. Generally, the acceptance criterion is some arbitrary ‘factor of safety’ which can be routinely ...
Finite element versus limit equilibrium methods for analysis of lateral support

Potgieter, Jean; Jacobsz, Schalk Willem (South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2018-07)

Soil-nails and anchors as means of lateral support in surface excavations require stability calculations during design. Generally, the acceptance criterion for such calculations is some arbitrary “factor of safety” (FoS).
