DOI: 10.1016/j.compgeo.2016.08.009
Abstract: Abstract The mechanism of reservoir slope deformation during impounding still lacks a convincing explanation. A generalized effective stress principle for rock masses is presented. A nonlinear iteration algorithm has been proposed and implemented in a… read more here.
