Janbu Method

The Janbu Method is a technique used in geotechnical engineering to assess the stability of slopes, such as hills or embankments. It analyzes the forces acting on a potential failure surface and calculates whether the soil mass is likely to slide or stay in place. By considering factors like soil strength, weight, and friction, the method helps engineers determine the safety of the slope under various conditions. It is valuable for designing stable landforms and preventing landslides or failures in construction projects, ensuring safety and structural integrity.
