Common Features of Slope Stability Analysis Methods
Water Forces on Soil Infinite Slope Analysis Finite Slopes: Plane, Circular and
Noncircular Failure Surfaces
COMMON FEATURES OF COMMON FEATURES OF SLOPE STABILITY SLOPE STABILITY
ANALYSIS METHODSANALYSIS METHODS Safety Factor: F = S/Sm where S = shear
strength and Sm = mobilized shear resistance. F = 1: failure, F > 1: safety
Shape and location of failure is not known a priori but assumed (trial and error to find minimum F)
Static equilibrium (equilibrium of forces and moments on a sliding mass)
Two-dimensional analysis
INFINITE SLOPE ANALYSISINFINITE SLOPE ANALYSIS
Translational failures along a single plane failure surface parallel to slope surface
The ratio of depth to failure surface to length of failure zone is relatively small (<10%)
Applies to surface raveling in granular materials or slab slides in cohesive materials
Equilibrium of forces on a slice of the sliding mass along the failure surface is considered

INFINITE SLOPE ANALYSISINFINITE SLOPE ANALYSIS F = f(c’, ’, , , d, u) F = (c’/ d) seccosec + (tan’/tan)(1-ru sec2)
where ru = u/d (different ru for seepage parallel to slope face,
seepage emerging, seepage downward, etc)
For Granular Soil: F = (tan’/tan)(1-ru sec2) Dry Granular Soil (ru = 0): F = (tan’/tan)
For Cohesive Soil: F decreases with increasing depth to failure plane; if c is sufficiently large, dc for F = 1 may be large and infinite slope failure may not apply.
WATER FORCES ON SOILWATER FORCES ON SOIL
Water fills voids and increase weight which increases driving forces
Water also exerts pore pressures which decrease effective stress and therefore strength
There are mathematically two equivalent ways of taking water forces into account in stability analyses
EQUIVALENT METHODS EQUIVALENT METHODS FOR WATER FORCESFOR WATER FORCES
1. Boundary water force + total unit weight u = hpw; sat consider soil element (particles and water filled pores) as single solid mass
2. Seepage force + submerged unit weight Fs = i wV; ’ consider soil element as particle skeleton with water external to it

Rotational Slides - Method of Slices Applies to slopes containing cohesive soils Ordinary Method of Slices (Fellenius’ Method) Bishop’s Simplified Method Spenser’s Method
ORDINARY METHOD OF ORDINARY METHOD OF SLICESSLICES
Assumes that resultant of side forces on each slice are collinear and act parallel to failure surface and therefore cancel each other
F = [cn ln + (Wn cosn - un ln) tann] / Wn sinn
Undrained analysis: F = [cn ln] / Wn sinn
SIDE FORCES IN ORDINARY SIDE FORCES IN ORDINARY METHOD OF SLICESMETHOD OF SLICES
BISHOP’S SIMPLIFIED BISHOP’S SIMPLIFIED METHODMETHOD
Assumes that resultant of side forces on each slice act in horizontal direction and therefore vertical side force components cancel each other
F = [cn bn + (Wn - un bn) tann](1/m) / Wn sinn
m = cosn + (sinn tann)/F
Undrained analysis: F = [cn ln] / Wn sinn

SIDE FORCES IN SIDE FORCES IN BISHOP’S METHODBISHOP’S METHOD
SPENCER’S METHODSPENCER’S METHOD
Assumes that the point of application of resultant of side forces on each slice is at mid-height of each slice but no assumption is made regarding inclination of resultants; inclination is determined as part of the solution
This method is more exact than Bishop’s

Wedge Method Janbu’s Simplified Method Morgenstern-Price Method
WEDGE METHODWEDGE METHOD
Failure surface consists of two or more planes and applicable to slope containing several planes of interfaces and weak layers
Force equilibrium is satisfied Assumes that resultant of side forces on
each slice either acts horizontally or at varying angles from horizontal (typically up to 15o)

WEDGE ANALYSIS
Equilibrium of Forces in each slice is considered to adjust the inter-slice forces and balance them resulting in a correct solution.
JANBU’S SIMPLIFIED JANBU’S SIMPLIFIED METHODMETHOD
A method of slices applicable to circular and noncircular failure surfaces
F = fo [cn bn + (Wn - un bn) tann](1/ cosnm)} / Wn tann
fo is a correction factor that varies with depth to length ratio of sliding mass and type of soil (c, or c = 0)

Slide 21..- La Conchita, California-a small seaside community along Highway 101 north of Santa Barbara. This landslide and debris flow occurred in the spring of 1995. Many people were evacuated because of the slide and the houses nearest the slide were completely destroyed. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured. Photograph by R.L.
