ABSTRACT
F = tan¢' S tanfJ (10.5b)
10.5 STABILITY ANALYSIS OF INFINITE SLOPES IN CLAY The vertical stress O'v acting on plane AB (Fig. 10.3) where
O'v = y zcosfJ is represented by OC in Fig. 10.3 in the stress diagram. The normal stress on this plane is OE and the shearing stress is EC. The line OC makes an angle f3 with the a-axis.
