FLAC3D Theory and Background • Factor of Safety

Example Factor of Safety Calculations using the Strength Reduction Method

This section includes several examples that validate and demonstrate the application of the strength reduction method in FLAC3D.

List of Examples

• Failure of a Slope with a Complex Surface Profile in a Mohr-Coulomb Material
• Influence of Slope Curvature on Stability
• Simple Slope in Hoek-Brown Material
• Automatic Calculation of a Stable Pit Slope Angle
• Factor of Safety Contours
