- Description
- Discontinuity Layout Optimization (DLO) (Smith and Gilbert, 2007) is a novel geotechnical stability analysis method which is based on the kinematic (upper bound) limit theorem of plasticity. The method is well suited to the development of general-purpose software and is simple to apply in practice, making it an attractive option to competing techniques. Recently, Crumpton (2018) developed an adaptive extension for the DLO method (ADLO) which improves computational efficiency through enhancements to the core solution procedure and the use of automatic mesh refinement. This paper demonstrates the performance of ADLO by applying the method to estimate the bearing capacity of a rough rigid footing on sand overlying clay.
