Abschätzung der Standsicherheit von annähernd unendlich langen Kriechhängen

Estimation of the stability of approximately infinite creeping slopes.

Slowly creeping slopes are a potential threat to downhill settlements and infrastructure. The stress state in a creeping layer with constant thickness on an infinite slope can be calculated using a solution from the thirties of the past century. This solution is extended and combined with the Matsuoka-Nakai limit state criterion. The safety of an approximately infinite creeping slope can be estimated with the presented approach.
