ANALYSIS SLOPE
Slopestabilityanalysisis performed to assess the safe design of a humanmade or naturalslopes(e.g. embankments, road cuts, open-pit mining,
excavations, landfills etc.) and the equilibrium conditions.Slope stability is
the resistance of inclined surface to failure by sliding or collapsing.

vertical normal
total stress
submerged unit

ground surface
unit weight of
water
This expression in its generalized form describes so called concept of effective stress:
where:
total stress
(overall)
ef
effective stress
(active)
neutral stress
(pore water
pressure)
Effective stress concept is valid only for normal stress , since the shear
stress is not transferred by the water so that it is effective.
The effective stress is then determined as a difference between the total
stress and neutral (pore) pressure (i.e. always by calculation, it can never
be measured).
Pore pressures are determined using laboratory or in-situ testing or by
calculation.
We should realize that the total stress depends on the way the soil is
loaded by its self weight and external effects.
As for the pore pressure we assume that for flowing pore water the pore
equals to hydrodynamic pressure and to hydrostatic pressure otherwise
For partial saturated soils with higher degree of it is necessary to for the fact
that the pore pressure evolves both in water and air bubbles
In layered subsoil with different unit weight of soils in individual horizontal layers the
vertical total stress is determined as a sum of weight of all layers above the investigated
point and the pore pressure:
