Pls refer to Low's paper in 1998, Vol, 124, No4,
Slope reliability analysis using generalized methods of slices
 
can any i comment on analysing the flow slides
 
What is the periodical title for Low's Paper? Thanks
 
ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Vol. 124, No. 4, April 1998, pp. 350-362. The paper is titled, "Slope Stability Analysis Using Generalized Method of Slices" by B.K. Low, R.B. Gilbert, and S.G. (Stephen) Wright. Steve Wright did his PhD dissertation at UC Berkeley on slope stability.

The following additional two papers should also can help to perform stability analysis by spreadsheets:

Low, B. K. (1996). ¡°Practical probabilistic approach using spreadsheet¡±. Proceedings of Uncertainty in Geologic Environment: from Theory to Practice, ASCE Geotechnical Special Publication, Vol. 2, No. 58, pp. 1284-1302.

Low, B. K., and Tang, W. H. (1997a). ¡°Reliability analysis of reinforced embankments on soft ground¡±. Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 34, No. 5, pp.672-685.
 
What a cite to see!
