Slope Stability Analysis using Bishops Method Calculators

Length of Arc of Slice given Effective Stress
​ Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/(Effective Normal Stress+Total Pore Pressure)
Effective Stress on Slice
​ Go Effective Normal Stress = (Total Normal Force/Length of Arc)-Total Pore Pressure
Normal Stress on Slice
​ Go Normal Stress in Pascal = Total Normal Force/Length of Arc
Length of Arc of Slice
​ Go Length of Arc = Total Normal Force/Normal Stress in Pascal
