Slope stability notes#

These are the notes of the graduate course on slope stability at EAFIT University.

The course is divided into four parts:

  1. Conditioning factors

  2. Triggering factors

  3. Rupture and failure mechanisms

  4. Propagation of unstable masses

Check out the contents on the left panel to access them and their notebooks.
