XSLOPE (Student Version) 4.7

XSLOPE(Student Version) computes the stability of an earth slope using Bishop's (1955) simplified method for circular failure surfaces or Morgenstern and Price's (1965, 1967) analysis for non-circular failure surfaces. The algorithm used by XSLOPE provides a very good estimate of the location of the critical center for a wide variety of problems. This initial estimate can then be used to size and locate a rectangular grid of circle centers.
