Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are based on Eurocode 7 guidelines for geotechnical design, specifically focusing on slope stability. For more detailed information, refer to the official Eurocode documentation.
The Formula Explained
\( \text{Stability Factor} = \frac{c + \sigma \cdot \tan(\phi)}{\gamma \cdot \sin(\theta)} \)
Glossary of Terms
- Slope Angle (°): The angle of the slope in degrees.
- Soil Cohesion (kPa): The cohesive strength of the soil.
- Unit Weight (kN/m³): The weight density of the soil.
- Friction Angle (°): The angle of internal friction of the soil.
Example Calculations
For a slope with a 30° angle, soil cohesion of 25 kPa, unit weight of 18 kN/m³, and a friction angle of 25°, the stability factor is calculated using the formula above.
