SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS: GENERALIZED APPROACH
This paper presents a generalized slope stability method based on the variational limiting equilibrium analysis introduced by Baker and Garber. The differential equation describing the normal stress distribution is determined analytically through a process of minimization of the factor of safety, while at the same time satisfying all the three limiting equilibrium equations for the entire sliding body. A distinguishing feature of the method is that, for a prescribed slip surface the corresponding factor of safety can be estimated without resorting to statistical assumptions. The paper describes a simple numerical procedure that enables the application of the statibity method. The applicability of the analysis predictions is estimated through determination of interslice forces.
