Download or read book Limit Analysis Theory of the Soil Mass and Its Application written by Chuanzhi Huang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book establishes the equations of limit analysis and provides a complete theoretical basis for foundation capacity, slope stability, and earth pressure. It is divided into three parts, the first of which discusses the failure mode and fundamental equation of soil mass. The second part addresses the solution methods for limit analysis, including the characteristic line method, stress field method, limit equilibrium method, virtual work equation-based generalized limit equilibrium method and generalized limit equilibrium method for the surface failure mode. Lastly, the third part examines the application of the limit analysis theory to soil mass.
