What is Slip Circle?

The Swedish Slip Circle method assumes that the friction angle of the soil or rock is equal to zero.In other words, when friction angle is considered to be zero, the effective stress term goes to zero, thus equating the shear strength to the cohesion parameter of the given soil.

How to Calculate Length of Slip Circle given Sum of Tangential Component?

Length of Slip Circle given Sum of Tangential Component calculator uses Length of Slip Arc = ((Factor of Safety*Sum of All Tangential Component in Soil Mechanics)-(Sum of all Normal Component*tan((Angle of Internal Friction*pi)/180)))/Unit Cohesion to calculate the Length of Slip Arc, The Length of Slip Circle given Sum of Tangential Component formula is defined as the circumference of the circular failure surface assumed to pass through a potential slip plane within a soil mass. It is a critical parameter used in analyzing slope stability, particularly in the context of the slip circle method. Length of Slip Arc is denoted by L^' symbol.
