Recently at the Rocscience International Conference 2021, Dr. Evert Hoek received the Lifetime Achievement Medal for his contributions in the field of Rock Engineering. Below you can watch the sp...
Description of Method The Spencer Method of Slices was developed by Spencer in 1967. It is one of the most theoretically rigorous Methods of Slices since it satisfies both force and moment equilibr...
Description of Method Janbu’s Method was developed by the Norwegian Professor N. Janbu. The method has similar features with the Bishop Method of Slices regarding the assumptions made on the inter...
The Bishop Method of Slices The Bishop Method was introduced in 1955 by Alan Wilfred Bishop from the Imperial College in London. It is one of several Methods of Slices developed to assess the st...
Introduction In circular failure surfaces, when the soil is under conditions that allow for partial or full drainage (drained conditions), its shear strength is controlled by both its cohes...
As discussed in Mechanics of Slope Stability, the most widely used approach for assessing both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional slope stability is the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM), i.e., assessing...
Definition of Factor of Safety Slope stability is controlled by 2 main factors: the driving and the resisting forces. The driving forces tend to destabilize a slope, leading to landslide phenomen...
