Slope stability analysis using modified Fellenius’s and Bishop’s method

Slope stability analysis using modified Fellenius’s and Bishop’s method

Analysis of slope stability is very important as many structures in hilly areas failed due to instability of slope. The aim of this study is to determine the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes located at Pahang Matriculation College by using limit equilibrium method. Two methods known as modified Fell...
