Upper bound limit analysis using simplex strain elements and second-order cone programming
- Abstract:
-
In geomechanics, limit analysis provides a useful method for assessing the capacity of structures such as footings and retaining walls, and the stability of slopes and excavations. This paper presents a finite element implementation of the kinematic (or upper bound) theorem that is novel in two main respects. First, it is shown that conventional linear strain elements (6-node triangle, 10-node tetrahedron) are suitable for obtaining strict upper bounds even in the case of cohesive-frictional ...
