Click here to download a copy of a spreadsheet for computing the factor of safety for slope failure using Bishop's Simplified Procedure. Following the approach we used in class for the phi=0 method and the OMS method, input the missing equations in the spreadsheet and compute the factor of safety. Keep in mind that you will need to iterate to find the answer. You can do this manually or you can use the Goal Seek tool.
