A novel framework for the analysis of low factor of safety slopes in the highly plastic clays of the Canadian Prairies.
The most common way to analyze slope stability is to employ limit equilibrium (LE) theory and obtain a factor of safety (FOS). Methods of LE analysis balance the forces, and/or moments that are driving and resisting slope movement. Generally, in geotechnical engineering practice, a slope that play...
