Specific Objectives for Chapter II

Fundamental

  • Classify the main types of slope movements based on their mechanisms.

  • Apply the Fellenius' and Bishop's methods to calculate safety factors (Fâ‚›) for circular failure surfaces.

  • Differentiate between failure types and soil conditions.

  • Compare the accuracy and limitations of the Fellenius and Bishop methods.

  • Evaluate the stability of natural and artificial slopes by interpreting safety factor results.
