RSS Reinforced Slope Stability: A Microcomputer Program. User's Manual

摘要

This manual is the user's guide for the microcomputer program RSS (ReinforcedSlope Stability). The program analyzes and designs soil slopes strengthened with horizontal reinforcement, as well as analyzing unreinforced soil slopes. This program operates in the DOS environment. The analysis is performed using a two-dimensional limit equilibrium method. The program uses an extensively modified version of the STABL computer program and guidelines for design of soil reinforcements as stated in Elias and Christopher (PB97-123608) and Christopher et al. (PB91-197269). The manual contains only the material that is necessary for someone who is familiar with slope stability analysis to use the program. The operation of the program is explained and typical examples are shown.
