Conventional methods of reinforced slope analysis based on the concept of limit equilibrium have been widely adopted mainly due to their simplicity and short computation time. But depending upon the assumptions on the inter-slice forces, the factor of safety resulting from the limit equilibrium method is not uniquely determined. This paper describes a method to calculate the factor of safely of a slope using a numerical analysis. Recently some useful analysis techniques (Strength reduction method and the stability method using stress fields) by numerical analysis are proposed and their theory and characteristics applications are studied and investigated with simple examples in this paper.
