Application of the BFGS quasi-Newton method to slope stability analysis

Mana computer programs have been developed for solving slope stability problems. Since slope stability problems can be characterized as optimization problems, many optimization techniques can be used for searching for the lowest safety factor for a given problem and the corresponding critical slip s...
