Two methods for incorporating the effects of negative pore water pressures into the slope stability analysis are proposed in this paper. the derivation of equations for the factor of safety with respect to force and moment equilibriums are presented. Several ...

The calculation of the lateral earth force using the limit equilibrium method of slices is an indeterminate problem. An assumption regarding the direction or the magnitude of certain forces, or the position of the line of thrust can be used to render the problem ...
