 Computation of factor of slope stability FS

The factor of slope stability FS is introduced in the analysis such as to reduce the soil strength
parameters c and φ. Equilibrium analysis is then performed for the reduced parameters to arrive at
the factor of horizontal acceleration Kh pertinent to a given factor of slope stability FS. This
iteration is repeated until the factor Kh reaches either zero or a specified value.
