ABSTRACT

Erect a vertical at the midpoint M of the slope. On this vertical will be the center 0 of the first trial circle. In locating the trial circle use an angle (133.5°) between the two radii at which the circle intersects the surface of the embankment and the foundation. After the first trial circle has been analyzed the center is some what moved to the left, the radius shortened and a new trial circle drawn and analyzed. Additional centers for the circles are spotted and analyzed.
