Add to ORKGThe paper discusses the methods for the calculation of the factor of safety, Fs, of a nonhomogenious loaded soil (and/or rock) mass in relation to Limit Equilibrium (EQU) and refers to the senior author’s own computer programs to solve these problems involved in Engineering Design Practice. To complement general programs for the traditional slices methods, new methods are presented and programmed: The “Rigid Blocks Methods” (RBM) for 2D and 3D situations. RBM are based on the creation of self-equilibrating structural systems inside the sliding ground mass. This generalization allows the treatment of problems such as the stability of excavations for tunnels in addition to the stability of slopes. A number of examples are presented us...
