- Abstract
The torque sum method is an analytical method proposed on the basis of the vector sum method by considering slope rotation. Aiming at the limitations that the torque sum method (TSM) fails to satisfy the mechanical equilibrium conditions under limit equilibrium state for slope stability analysis, a strict-equilibrium torque sum method (SE-TSM) is proposed in this paper.
