In this article we will discuss about the two main methods used in stability analysis of finite slopes. The methods are: 1. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes – Culmann’s Method 2. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes Using the Swedish Circle Method. 1. Stability Analysis of Finite Slopes – Culmann’s Method: Culmann (1866) considered a plane […]
