Statement and Solution of the Stability Problem for Slopes and Embankments as a Linear-Programming Problem

The problem of determining the system of the forces of interaction between sections and the surrounding soil, which is most unsuitable with respect to slope stability, is solved for the working diagram of the “method of sections,” and stability is evaluated on this basis.__________Translated from Osnovaniya, Fundamenty i Mekhanika Gruntov, No. 3, pp. 2–6, May–June, 2005.
