# Slope Stability Analyzer Skill

## Purpose

The Slope Stability Analyzer Skill performs slope stability analysis using limit equilibrium methods for circular and non-circular failure surfaces under static and seismic loading conditions.

## Capabilities

- Limit equilibrium analysis (Bishop, Spencer, Morgenstern-Price)
- Circular and non-circular failure surfaces
- Factor of safety calculation
- Seismic slope stability (pseudo-static)
- Probabilistic slope stability
- Sensitivity analysis
- Back-analysis for failed slopes
- Reinforced slope analysis

## Usage Guidelines

### When to Use
- Analyzing natural slopes
- Designing cut and fill slopes
- Evaluating landslide potential
- Designing slope reinforcement

### Prerequisites
- Slope geometry defined
- Soil stratigraphy established
- Shear strength parameters available
- Groundwater conditions known

### Best Practices
- Search for critical failure surface
- Use appropriate analysis method
