Theories of limit equilibrium methods

Geçen 30 yıl içerisinde şevlerin duraylılığı alanında büyük ilerlemeler kaydedilmiştir. Bilgisayarların geniş olarak kullanılabilirliği sev duraylılığı analizlerinin hesaplanması açısından önemli değişimler getirmiştir. Analizler, geçmiştekinden çok daha etraflı ve doğru olarak yapılabilmektedir. Bir şevin emniyette olup olmadığını inceleyip buna göre kararlar alınması şev stabilitesinin değerlendirilmesinde çok önemlidir. Bir çok stabilite analiz metotları vardir ve işlemler temelde genellikle birbirine benzemektedir. Bu çalışmada, şev stabilite değerlendirmelerinde ortak kabul görmüş ve en geniş şekilde onaylanmış limit denge analiz metotları tanımlanmış ve bu metotların temel teorileri açıklanmıştır. Pratiğe uygulamadan önce belirli bir metodun teorisini anlamak çok Önemlidir.

Limit denge yöntemleri kuramları

In the past 30 years great progress has been made in the area of slope stability. The widespread availability of microcomputers has brought about significant change in the computational aspects of slope stability analysis. Analyses can be done much more thoroughly and more accurately than before. An assessment of the stability of a slope is very important when a judgement is needed as to whether the slope is stable or not, and as a consequence decisions are to be made. There are many different methods of stability analysis available and the procedures are broadly similar in concept. In this study, the most widely accepted limit equilibrium methods of analysis which are commonly used for assessing the stability of slopes are described and the theoretical basis for this class of methods is given. It is very important to understand the theoretical background of a particular method before applying it in practice.
