Comparison With Publication
Fredlund and Krahn (1977) analyzed the stability of an embankment resting on a bedrock stratum with the presence of a weak layer on the bedrock surface. They used the original Morgenstern-Price computer program, as modified at the University of Alberta, (Krahn, Price and Morgenstern, 1971), and compared it with a slope stability program developed by Fredlund, 1974, at the University of Saskatchewan. The objective of this example is to compare the SLOPE/W solution with the solutions obtained from both the University of Alberta and the University of Saskatchewan. SLOPE/W gives the same factor of safety as the published solutions.
