Slope Stability (Bishop-Janbu)/Evidence
Method evidence record

Slope Stability (Bishop-Janbu)

The Bishop and Janbu methods are limit equilibrium approaches for analyzing slope stability, computing the factor of safety against shear failure along a potential slip surface. Developed by Bishop (1955) and Janbu (1954), these methods remain the most widely used tools in geotechnical engineering for evaluating cut slopes, embankments, and natural hillsides.
