Evaluation on the stability of slope at Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB) using Slope/w

Slope stability topics have become one of the main issues due to the nature of topography and weather conditions in Malaysia. This study examines the stability of the slope at the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB) and eventually to identify the best approach for the analysis. The...
