CET 4430 - Slope Stability

2 Class Hours 3 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: CET 2110 and CET 3410
This course focuses on empirical and numerical analytical methods to evaluate and predict landslide failure behavior. Topics will include limit equilibrium slope stability analysis, including Bishop, Janbu, Spenser, Morgenstern-Price methods, and effects of water on slope stability. Students will review case studies and examine initiation, development, and failure of slopes. The course will include the use of finite element, Program SLOPE/W, and Excel spreadsheet applications.
