This Slope Stability Sheet can be useful for the analysis of static stability of soil slopes like embankments,
excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock.
Advantages:
1. Modeling includes entering Slope height and inclination, so very useful for quick check of FOS.
2. One set of uniformly varrying distributed vertical load can be modled for analysis.
3. Fellenius Method and Bishop Method of analysis is available.
4. Bishop Method can be disabled for approx calculation to save time.
5. Soil Nails can be inculded and analysed to increase slope stability.
6. Analysis is done with or without Reinforcement.
7. Maximum of 5 Types of Soil Nail can be defined for analysis.
8. Suggestions displayed below "Calculation" Button can be used for accurate result.
9. Factor of safety for all circle analysed is stored in the "FOS" sheet for reference.
10. The Autocad script file is generated in the same folder to draw the autocad drawing containing
Profile, Soil Layers, Load data, Soil Nails and slip circles.
Limitations:
1. Seismic effect cannot be analysed.
2. Only one Load set is included in the analysis.
3. Modeling horizontal load is not available.
4. Berms are not modled.
5. Water table effect cannot be modled.
6. Visual Interface is absent and data needs to be entered with caution.

2. CALCULATION
The "CALCULATE" button on the "SLOPE STABILITY" sheet displays the above window on press.
Following Details are required prior to the start of analysis :
The range and density of centers for the slip circle is defined here. The Range is defined as a square
as shown in the figure with minimum ordinate (Xmin, Ymin) and maximum ordinate as (Xmax, Ymax).
Ymin cannot be less than the height of the slope.
The No. of division defines the no of vertical and horizontal lines. e.g. in the given figure the number of
division would be 5.
Thus the total number of centers considered would be n x n, where n is the number of division.
Width of the wedge is the width of the slice as shown in the figure considered in the analysis. Evidently
less is the width of slice, more will be the accuracy but the calculation time would increase.
This parameters defines the the radious size and number of slip circle analysed for each center point.
Radius increment (d) : This accepts the incremental value of slip circle after avery analysis.
Rmin Possible : It is the radius of the circle touching the slope.
x' - Value : The minimum radious of slip circle analysed would be Rmin possible + x. x may or
may not be intiger.
Number of increments: The number of slip circle analysed of varrying radius for every defined center.
Thus the total number of slip circle analysed would be = n x n x Number of increments

N = Normal Reaction perpendicular to the slip surface for each slice. ( In direction of R)
S = force parallel to the slip surface at the line of slip
This method cannot be disabled as it is required to calculate the approx FOS.
To solve the above equation, the initial FOS is assumed as derived from the Fellenious Method and
Desired accuracy is reached after maximum of 100 iteration. The total number of Iteration done in each
analysis is displayed in the "FOS" sheet along with FOS.
If selected the Effect of defined Geogrid is included in the analysis. The Tention in the Reinforcement is
calculated and the resisting moment due to these reinforcement tention is found. These additional
restoring moment due to the reinforcement tention, is inroduced in above analysis by Fellenius
Method and Bishop's Method as given:
Say there are n number of reinforcement at elevation y1, y2, .. , yn.
Tention in the Reinforcement = T1 , T2, .. , Tn
Where,
Le = Length of reinforcement type which extends beyond the critical failure mechanism.
σ’n = σ’radial
Average n
= effective stress acting on the reinforcement beyond the failure surface.
(Discussed later)
, = Design Strength parameter for the soil
FSG = Factor of safety against pullout failure at soil-grout interface
The average radial effective stress, F’, acting along the pull-out length of a soil nail may be derived from:
Where,
σ’v = Vertical stress acting along the length.
KL = Coefficient of lateral earth pressure parallel to slope = ½ (1+Ka)
Ka = (1 - sinΦ’des)/ (1 + sinΦ’des)
