Slope Stability: Safety Factor Calculation

The document summarizes the calculation of the factor of safety against sliding for a slope. It provides the input parameters for the height, angle of internal friction, cohesion, unit weight of soil, and slope. It also defines the assumptions for the radius and center angle of a circle for analyzing slices of soil. Tables are included showing the slice number, average ordinate, width, volume, weight, center angle, cohesion, base width, tangent of the friction angle, and the weighted sine of the center angle for calculating the factor of safety against sliding.
