Features: This book comprehensively elaborates on the principles and methods of stability analysis for soil slopes, introducing relevant programs and usage instructions. The main content includes: the general slice method and various simplified methods for slope stability analysis, the principles and methods of using optimization techniques to search for the minimum safety factor of circular and arbitrary-shaped slip surfaces, issues related to soil shear strength and determining soil pore water pressure, as well as the principles of the effective stress method or total stress method. The book discusses the design calculation methods for various slope reinforcement measures such as retaining walls, reinforced earth, and soil nails, as well as the principles and methods of slope stability risk analysis. It also introduces the structure of slope stability analysis programs and the programming methods, accompanied by key source programs. This book records the analysis and calculation results of 13 engineering projects completed using the STAB program, and briefly introduces the principles and application examples of the author's recently developed three-dimensional slope stability analysis methods. This book is suitable for researchers, designers, and construction personnel in fields such as water conservancy, hydropower, civil engineering, transportation, and mining.
