A New Calculation Method for the Soil Slope Safety Factor

Based on the unified strength theory, a new method to calculate the plane soil slope safety factor was derived that considers the effect of intermediate principal stress σ2 and at-rest lateral pressure coefficient K0. Calculation examples from the literature were used to compare the new calculation...
