Introduction

In a SLOPE/W analysis, the limit equilibrium formulation requires that the friction angle and cohesion are defined at the base of each slice, regardless of the material model selected. The objective of this example is to demonstrate how a shear-normal strength function is used to generate a strength definition along the base of a slip surface.
