    Steep slopes

    Hi everyone, I understand that steep slopes are more in line with the centre of gravity and therefore friction has less effect, but where is this reflected in the calculations for method of slices? in terms of the disturbing moment? The bigger the distance the larger the moment right? so why...

    A few unexpected results for GWL changes

    Hi everyone, I have carried out a study to find the effect of raised GWL on various slopes and angles, and as expected the higher the slope(in terms of height and angle) the lower the critical GWL(FOS of 1). For all cases of increasing the angle the crit GWL decreased. The GWL also decreased...

    hydrostatic pore pressure

    Hi everyone, I am currently carrying out a study of the effect of rainfall on natural slopes for a dissertation, and the one outcome which I have considered is raising the GWL. I am studying various slope angles and heights and raising the GWL until a factor of safety of 1 is reached. I have...
