Slices-Bishop Methods
1. Analitical Solution
a. Ordinary Slices
b. Bishop Slices

2. Emphirical Solution
Bishop and Morgestern Method
γ = 16 kN/m3 c/γH = 20/(16 x 14) = 0.089
c = 20 kN/m2 Slope inclination: 1 : 1 and bedrock depth (D = 1.5)
ϕ = 20º Dry slope, ru = u/γH = 0
H = 14 m Find m = 1.706 n = 1.349
Thus, safety factor
SF = m - n ru = 1.706

Bishop and Morgestern Method with variation of controlling factors


a. Vary depth of groundwater (dry, partially-saturated and fully-saturated slopes)
b. Vary slope inclination
c. Vary depth of bedrock

Solution:
a. Dry slope: ru = 0, then m = 1.706 and n = 1.349
Partially-saturated slope (hw = 0.5H): ru = 0.306, then m = 1.706 and n = 1.349
Fully-saturated slope (hw = H): ru = 0.612, then m = 1.706 and n = 1.349

b. Slope inclination: 1 : 1, then m = 1.706 and n = 1.349


Slope inclination: 2 : 1, then m = 1.918 and n = 1.514

c. Bedrock at slope toe: D = 1, then m = 1.088 and n = 0.837


c. Bedrock deeper than slope toe: D = 1.5, then m = 1.706 and n = 1.349
