SURFACES OF SLIDING AND LIMIT PARAMETERS OF THE NON-UNIFORM AND ANISOTROPIC SLOPES

Abstract

The article proposes a mechanical principle to calculate slopes’ stability. The theory of calculation of
their stability is based on it. The basic equations of
conditions of a displacement prism equilibrium are
derived. Differential equations that determine the
geometry of a potential slip surface are received.
The solution of the problem in terms of the methods
of the variations calculus is given. The questions of
slip surface refraction in anisotropic rock mass are
discussed.
