Slope Stability Analysis Based on AASHTO 17th & 2018 IBC
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. Assume that building/structure load, P, may cause three kind of failures: Slope Circle Failure, Toe Circle Failure, or Base Circl
started at the edge of building.
2. For wild fired mountain (tree total lost slope), the effective unit weight of soil, g eff, should input the both values of (g saturated - g w
no matter if current soil is saturated or not, to check the worse condition.
3. The default cut angle of toe circle failure, b toe, is 53o. When slope angle greater than it, the failure will be base circle failure, b
circle failure. User may change the default 53 o, and input P zero load with different D and W values, to check general slope s
