| | Summary: |
| | Determination of critical height of vertical slope is a very important task in
geotechnical engineering. Recently, increasing number of researchers is suggesting new
solutions to this task using principles of fracture mechanics, instead of classical
solutions based on principles of soil mechanics. This is especially used when tension
crack is present in soil. In this paper, a solution to this problem based on limit
equilibrium and a solution based on upper bound theorem of limit analysis. is presented.
Also, analysis of several papers from different researchers, who used fracture mechanics
to solve this problem are considered. Findings obtained in those papers are presented
and conclusions are made. At the end, authors’ suggestions of the way to solve this
problem are given. |
