The background of limit analysis is given first, and various aspects, considered in the last decades, are described. These include: application of limit analysis for soils governed by the non-associative flow rule, solving problems with frictional boundaries, including pore water pressure in limit analysis calculations, application to materials with non-linear yield conditions, seismic effects, and application to reinforced soils. These aspects are presented briefly with the exception of the pore water consideration, where, in addition to a short description, some analytical background is given. 3D analyses are discussed. Because the static approach of limit analysis is hindered by the difficulties in finding admissible stress fields, the major part of the report focuses on the kinematic approach. The static approach, however, can be used conveniently if the numerical approach is used, and this approach is mentioned in the last section.
