A. A. Janbu

A. A. Janbu was a Norwegian engineer and researcher known for developing methods to analyze slope stability and foundation design. His work helps engineers predict whether landslides or soil failures might occur on slopes or construction sites. Janbu's methods involve calculating how soils respond to forces and stresses, allowing for safer and more economical engineering solutions. His techniques are widely used in geotechnical engineering to assess the stability of hillsides, embankments, and excavations, ensuring structures are secure and sustainable.
