Computation of Factor of Slope Stability FS
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.
