Non-homogeneous Stratigraphy - Slope Stability Analysis
This example presents a slope stability analyis for a slope with non-homogeneous stratigraphy (three layer slope). The factor of safety and its corresponding critical circular failure surface is required.

Note : Referee Factor of Safety = 1.39 [Giam]
Mean Bishop FOS (16 samples) = 1.406
Mean FOS (31 samples) = 1.381
