CALCULATION PROCEDURES FOR SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES INVOLVING NEGATIVE PORE WATER PRESSURES (1991)

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 procedures for designating the negative pore water pressures in the analysis are also outlined. An example is given in order to illustrate the method of calculation.
