Abstract

In this study a procedure is described which permits the slope calculation utilizing the electronic tabulator. The slope is calculated by applying the Mohr Theory on Stress: for the limit state, above the limit state & horizontal stresses equal to cero and above the limit state & horizontal stresses greater than cero. In order to forecast the conditions of the geological massif, load amplification coefficients (η) are used which respond to the conditions of: presence of pore water, rheology, seismic activities and structure.
