Probabilistic slope stability analysis using a microcomputer

M. S. Rosenbaum & J. Jarvis

Geology Department, Imperial College, , Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BP, UK

A probabilistic slope stability analysis has been adapted for use on a microcomputer. The analysis uses the Janbu method of slices with geological input provided in the form of the Hoek-Brown rock mass strength criteria. A Monte Carlo simulation allows the results of this analysis to be presented as a probability that the factor of safety for the slope will fall below a critical level. The demonstration program is described for a slope in a Carboniferous limestone quarry at Chipping Sodbury.
