 A critical failure surface searching method, using a random
technique for generating CIRCULAR surfaces has been specified.
100 trial surfaces have been generated.

ANGULAR RESTRICTIONS :

The first segment of each failure surface will be inclined

within the angular range defined by :

Lower angular limit := -45.0 degrees

Upper angular limit := (slope angle - 5.0) degrees

Factors of safety have been calculated by the :
