Providing optimal displacement-based solutions
for natural and reinforced slopes
Back-calculating slope material strengths, reducing the cost and uncertainty associated with sampling
Optimizing retaining structures by assessing slope stabilization methods
     To transcend the limitations of traditional limit-equilibrium-based slope stability analysis methods, the Force-equilibrium-based Finite Displacement Method (FFDM) was developed in 2012 by Dr. C.-C. Huang at the Department of Civil Engineering, National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan. FFDM transforms conventional slope stability analysis into a displacement-based approach by integrating a stress-displacement constitutive law into the force equilibrium of sliced soil masses.
     FFDM serves as the core of the previous iteration of SLICE-DISP program, which has been employed in preliminary studies on groundwater-table-induced slope displacements. Follow-up experimental studies, including direct shear tests and back-analyses of slope failures, have further validated FFDM’s effectiveness in predicting slope displacements caused by internal and external factors.
工作坊主旨 以極限平衡法(Limit Equilibrium) 進行邊坡穩定相關之工程設計與分析已超過百年的歷史。在極限平衡之 邊坡穩定分析中雖能獲得邊坡之安全係數依賴經驗操作之體系因其基於眾多之假設故以安全係數之邊坡穩定判斷為一過度不符合以變位為基準之現代化邊坡設計思維。
