| dc.description.abstract | There are two methods available for the calculation of the disturbing forces in the active failure by sliding embankments of cohesionless material. The first is due to Hummel & Finnan (1921) and Trollope (1951) and the second is due to Rendulic (1938). Using these two methods in the stability analysis of a sliding failure of a 260 ft high earth dam at Cullinan, South Africa, showed that there was a significant difference in the horizontal thrusts as determined by the two methods.
