Exploration of Method for Slope Stabilization Influenced by Unsaturated Soil

This study will lead to the analysis of unsaturated soil using Bishop’s Simplified method which is one method to analyze slope stability in method of slices. Bishop’s original formula of saturated soil was modified by adding the element of matric suction, ( ) a w   together with unsaturated fric...
