Welcome to pySlope’s documentation!

pySlope is a 2D slope stability module based on bishops method of slices. This module allows for the following parameters:

• unlimited horizontal geological units

• water table

• uniform loads

• line loads

• slope search limits

This module can return plots for the critical failure slope or plots for all failure slopes below a certain factor of safety.

The pySlope package repository can be found on Github.
