Many factors, including geometric and mechanical parameters, can affect the stability of anchored slopes. In this paper, anchors are modeled by using the dual-spring element, which are basically one-dimensional axial elements that behave as elastic-perfectly plastic materials and can yield under tension and compression. Parametric study is undertaken in which the effects of anchor layouts on the factor of safety and the potential slip surface of are observed. The layout which features a variation of anchor length is divided into two types of la...
