Analysis on Wave-induced Circular Shearing Failure of Submarine Slope at Coastal Estuaries

摘要

Wave-induced circular shearing failure of submarine slopes could be found at big estuaries all over the world. For this kind of failure form, the equations for Critical failure conditions and scale were created based on limit analysis method. The results were compared with those from elastic calculation, flume test and in situ measurement, which show that there are some coincidences between them.
