Comparative Study of Slope Soils Analysis by Using Limit Equilibrium and Finite Element Methods

The slope soil analysis remains a corporate concern in construction activities. Because of its significance, the evaluation stability has called widespread attention to several researchers all over world. Many methods have been technologically advanced evaluate slopes soils founded on distinct expectations and circumstances. Every method specific benefits limits. This work makes comparison among safety factors slip surfaces based using Limit Equilibrium Finite Element methods. Therefore, SLIDE 6.0 PLAXIS 8.0 software were used for methods, respectively. computations performed diverse shapes including different types soils. Failure values obtained compared both used. It was noticed that from larger than which is by finite element code. Moreover, an important change between approaches.
