END EFFECTS ON STABILITY OF COHESIVE SLOPES - DISCUSSION

It is noted that the paper is an extension of 2-dimensional circular are slope stability analysis. Studies suggest that slopes made up of sandy soils behave quite differently from cohesive slopes. Considerable caution is urged in using the author's figures to correct a sandy slope 2-dimensional factor of safety. It appears that the inclination of the force normal to the shearing surface is one of the important factors in a 3-dimensional analysis for a C-phi soil. Comment is also made on the computer program, STAB3D.
