Abstract
A practical method of solving the equations of statical equilibrium to obtain the factor of safety of earth slopes, with slip surfaces of arbitrary shape, is described. The basic mathematical problem is the solution of a pair of simultaneous non-linear equations which arise from the boundary conditions on the solution of an ordinary differential equation.Keywords
