The use of back-calculations to obtain the shear and tensile strength of weathered rocks

Sancio presents back-analyses of documented slope failures to infer mobilised shear strength and pore-pressure conditions at failure. Case histories are described, and limit-equilibrium calculations are used to match observed failures, highlighting progressive failure, strain softening and uncertainty in pore-pressure distributions.
