Deformation analysis in model soil slope studies

Abstract

In model soil slope studies as related to Geotechnical Engineering. the engineers arc interested in the failure surface and the maximum shear strength developed there upon failure. Monitoring the displacements and strains developed in the soil body during deformation. as a result of either surcharge loading or changes in the pore water pressure. holds a significant importance in Geotechnical Engineering. for example in investigations related to foundation engineering.
