Slope Stability – Fellenius Method
The Fellenius Method, also known as the Simplified Bishop's Circle Method or Method of Slices, is a classic technique used to evaluate the stability of slopes in natural or excavated soils.
It considers the slope divided into several vertical slices, analyzing the forces acting on each of them — such as soil weight, shear resistance, and sliding forces. From this, the method allows estimating the safety factor, which indicates whether the slope is stable or if there is a risk of failure.
Although a simplified method, Fellenius's is widely used due to its ease of application and good practical results, serving as one of the foundations for the study of slope stability and retaining structures in geotechnical engineering.
For the creation of this model, PLA filament was used, with 10% infill, in normal quality, and there is also an acrylic plate with the following dimensions: 184 mm x 292 mm x 7.5 mm
