Ref: Example 12.2 (Page 296) - Soil Mechanics : Principles and Practice by G.E. Barnes.

The attached SM file demonstrates how to find cutting points of strips with the slope profile and slip circle.
(for an assumed strip width of 1m. which can be changed if necessary).

A small text correction to my post #1.
Sorry for inconvenience please.

Point A and Toe are also same.

Hi,
Second correction, as the variable Hvc is no longer used in the entire program. Please delete the entire line as indicated.
Extremely sorry.

Hi,

The complete solution to Slope Stability Analysis of above example.
Analysis is carried out in 2 parts.

1. With one assumed Center of a slip circle to explain steps involved and resulting cordinates of strips etc., and checked with ACAD drawing.

2. Program to find the minimum factor of safety using multiple arrays of centers.

Hi,

Please make the correction as shown ( replace A with -A in page 3).
Even without this correction, the program will run in most cases, but will give
wrong values for AA for some center cordinates.

This correction is an improvement.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

An improved method to my post #5.
I get Wrong Values OR Errors when using the "Findroot()" function for some center cordinates.

This new method mainly uses "root()" function, with few supporting programs.
