Slope Stability Analysis with the Finite Element Method

In the evaluation of slopes, the factor of safety values still remain the main indexes for finding out how close or far slopes are from failure. The evaluation can be done my means of conventional slip circle analysis (the limit equilibrium methods) or by means of numerical methods such as the finite element method. This study presents the comparison between slope stability analysis with the finite element method and the limit equilibrium method.
