An extension of simplified Bishop method and its application to non-circular slip surface for slope stability analysis

Yingren Zheng

Abstract

The classical simplified Bishop method has been used widely in slope stability analysis; but it only can compute safety factor for circular slip surface. This paper suggests a new extended simplified Bishop method; it has all advantages of the classical simplified Bishop method such as high precision and easy usage, moreover it can compute the safety factor of slope stability for non-circular slip surface. The results of an example show that the method is a practical method for slope stability analysis.
