An Analytical Solution for Analysis of Block Toppling Failure Using Approach of Fictitious Horizontal Acceleration
Hassan Sarfaraz
Abstract
In this research, firstly, the literature review of the most kinds of toppling failure is presented, and then using the fictitious horizontal acceleration technique, an analytical approach is proposed for the stability analysis of block toppling failure. This method is compared with the Goodman–Bray method through a typical example. The results of the methods have an acceptable agreement.
