Source sentences:
text: A slope can be globally stable if the safety factor, computed along any potential sliding surface running from the top of the slope to its toe, is always larger than 1.
text: Assignment 2: Locate in your local area or on the web an example of how a slope is being stabilized (or needs to be stabilized).
text: If the forces available to resist movement are greater than the forces driving movement, the slope is considered stable.
text: Similarly, a slope can be locally stable if a safety factor larger than 1 is computed along any potential sliding surface running through a limited portion of the slope (for instance only within its toe).
text: When is a slope not stable?
text: What are critical factors that influence whether mass wasting occurs or not, whether a slope is stable or not ?
text: But, in most cases, areas that are prone to such hazards can be recognized with some geologic knowledge, slopes can be stabilized or avoided, and warning systems can be put in place that can minimize such hazards.
