Infinite Slope Derivation | Slope Stability | Soil Mechanics

In this video we derive the factor of safety expression for an infinite slope element, both with and without the presence of water. This derivation is carried out for both cohesive and cohesionless soils.

This video is part of the topic Slope Stability, which cover the different types of slopes, infinite slope analysis, circular slip element analysis, Swedish Method of Slices, Bishop’s Method and Taylor’s Charts. Examples are also demonstrated.

Perfect timing, just covered this in my geomorphology class today.
