Assume have a permanent pond on top of an embankment.
The pond induces a vertical hydraulic gradient. The down drag forces by water should thus increase the effective stresses and hence the factor of safety.
How can I run a program to take into account the non hydrostatic conditions. I assume Slope/w or any other similar program only considers hydrostatic conditions by a given phreatic surface.
How does Slope/w allow doing it, or any other way?
I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
