A comprehensive study is presented to compare the factors of safety calculated by the Ordinary, Bishop's Simplified, Janbu's Simplified, Janbu's Generalized, Spencer and Morgenstern - Price methods. Results are presented in terms of stability coefficients ...

<p>Evaluation of different limit equilibrium methods for slope stability analysis and factor of safety comparison.</p>

The concept of pore pressure parameters has been found convenient to visualize the pore pressure response of saturated soils for various applied stress changes. This paper derives pore pressure parameters that can be utilized in determining the pore pressure ...

The paper compares six methods of slices commonly used for slope stability analysis. The factor of safety equations are written in the same form, recognizing wheter moment and (or) force equilibrium is explicitly satisfied. The normal force equation is of ...

Slope stability analyses have been performed using various software packages on a routine basis in geotechnical engineering since the 1980s. A variety of 2D software packages have been developed at the academic level and the commercial level to provide a comprehensive ...
