TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Temperature Driving Strength Reduction Method for Slope Stability Analysis JO - Yantu gongcheng xuebao A1 - Cao, XF A1 - Xu, QJ SP - 2039 EP - 2042 VL - 28 IS - 11 N2 - Temperature driving strength reduction method was studied for slope stability analysis. It was shown from two examples that the maximum displacement of the slope would increase rapidly after a certain time step. The strength reduction multiplier corresponding to that critical time step was suggested to be safety factor of the slope. It was also shown that both accuracy and convergence could be ensured by 4-node quadrilateral element.
