Abstract :

In this paper, for the purpose of compå the traditional methods (Spencer, Janbu corrected and Bishop simplified) results for computing safety factor of slope stability with finite difference method (FDM)

results, safety factors of 135 difference slopes with four mentioned method calculated under effect of their weights.

Results are been obtained by varying values of parameters such as cohesion, internal friction, density. In these experiments, Flac/Slope software has been used for analysis of slopes stability with FDM, also Slide.6 software is used to

achieve the results of the Spencer, Janbu, and Bishop methods. The analysis shows that, determination coefficient or

R2 , between the results of every methods and finite difference numerical method (FDM) is 0.99 and also the obtained

results indicate a close correspondence of mentioned traditional methods exists with the found results for the finite difference method (FDM) used in the process.
