Slope Stability Calculator (Simplified Bishop)

Calculate the factor of safety against circular slip failure in slopes using Bishop's simplified method with iterative solution for cohesive and frictional soils.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate the factor of safety against circular slip failure in slopes using Bishop's simplified method with iterative solution for cohesive and frictional soils

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Bishop's simplified method — The bishop's simplified method recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the bishop slope stability result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Bishop's simplified method for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate the factor of safety against circular slip failure in slopes using Bishop's simplified method with iterative solution for cohesive and frictional soils. Use the bishop slope stability result to inform your clinical assessment.
