r <br />I APPENDIX C <br />SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES <br />The site slope was analyzed for stability along Cross Sections A -A', B-B', and C-C' using the computer <br />program WinStabl, by the University of Wisconsin. WinStabl is a two-dimensional, limit equilibrium <br />slope stability program that generates random potential failure surfaces and determines their <br />corresponding lactors of safety with respect to failure. By generating a large number of random surfaces, <br />a pot lial failure surface with the minimum factor of safety can be obtained <br />We perfornied stability analyses using inforniation gathered from our field explorations and laboratory <br />analysis and have assigned soil properties to the soil layers to reasonably reflect their engineering <br />characteristics. The results of the analyses are presented as Figures C-1 through C-12. A description of <br />the results can be found in the body of the report. <br />NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />57 <br />
