3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

Modeling A uses a behavior model for the linear dam, the calculation being performed using the operator MECA_STATIQUE. The safety factor assessment is carried out:

  • from a sufficiently refined 2D auxiliary mesh of the sliding circle.

  • from a sliding circle mesh constructed directly by the macro command

3.2. Tested sizes and results#

We test the value of the static global safety factor estimated by the Newmark method, by comparing it to the result of the Enhanced Limit Equilibrium (ELE) method .
