v1.01.146 ZZZZ146 - Computer validation of LEM methods in the macro command CALC_STAB_PENTE#

Summary:

The objective of this test is to validate the computer functionalities for the stability analysis of slopes by methods based on the equilibrium limit theory (LEM) of macro-control CALC_STAB_PENTE.

In this test case, the stability of a homogeneous slope is analyzed by considering the infiltration of water into the ground.

**This test case does not make physical sense or solution scientific reference. **

  • Modeling A: Calculation of the safety factor according to the Drucker-Prager criterion

    by the Bishop method. This modeling validates the following functionalities:

    • Calculation of the safety factor using the simplified Bishop method.

    • Recovery of shear strength properties from the Drucker-Prager law of behavior.

    • Adaptation of the mesh with circular fracture surfaces.

    • Taking into account the infiltration of water into the structure.

    • Optimization algorithm for circular surfaces with limited radius limits.

  • Modeling B: Calculation of the safety factor according to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion by the method

    Morgenstern-Price. This modeling validates the following functionalities:

    • Safety factor calculation using the Morgenstern-Price method.

    • Recovery of shear strength properties from the Mohr-Coulomb law of behavior.

    • Adaptation of the mesh with non-circular fracture surfaces.

    • Taking into account the infiltration of water into the structure.

    • Optimization algorithm EFWA.

    • Resumed calculation EFWA by defining the initial state.

  • C Modeling: Calculation of the safety factor according to the Druck-Prager criterion by

    the Fellenius method.

    . note:

    This modeling is identical with modeling A except for the FS calculation method.

  • D Modeling: Calculation of the safety factor according to the Mohr-Coulomb criterion

    by the Spencer method.

    . note:

    This modeling is identical to modeling B except for the FS calculation method.
