Document Type: Feature article

Abstract:

Over the past few years, interest in performing three-dimensional (3-D) slope stability analyses has surged. An increasing number of research papers on this topic are being published at conferences and in peer-reviewed geotechnical journals. This increased interest has resulted in a reconsideration of the fundamental issues surrounding 3-D analysis and its practical application in the geotechnical consulting industry.
