Abstract

A slope failure implies that the factor of safety of the slope at the moment of failure is unity. Based on this information, the traditional back analysis of a slope failure is often carried out to improve knowledge on slope stability parameters, such as soil shear strength parameters and pore-water pressure parameters at the moment of slope failure. Using back analysis, important factors that may not be well represented in laboratory testing, such as soil heterogeneity and the influence of fissures and structural fabric on soil shear strength, can be incorporated.
