As early as 1930, slope stability had been analyzed by limit equilibrium methods (LEM). Several methods with different assumptions of LEM such as Bishop’s Simplified Method and Spencer’s Method are widely used in practice now. Simplicity in calculation is the advantage of LEM method. The disadvantag...
