Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this chapter, three major stability analysis methods are introduced. Each method will be discussed with many recent findings discussed. Based on the slip line method and extremum limit equilibrium method, the classical slope stability, lateral earth pressure and bearing capacity problems are unified under one formulation. A Fortran code is also provided for the lateral earth pressure analysis based on the limit analysis approach, and this code will be useful to many readers.
Keywords:
Limit analysis, Limit equilibrium, Extremum principle, Slip line, Unification.
