Circular Failure Analysis
A circular failure analysis is specified by five numbers- 1) X coordinate of leftmost initiation point; 2) X coordinate of left termination point; 3) X coordinate of rightmost initiation point; 4) X coordinate of right termination point; and 5) Number of failure surfaces.
The user can type X coordinates into the corresponding data boxes. More conveniently, the user can click the button next to the data box and then move the cursor to the position where the user wants X coordinate to be and click. The X coordinate of this position will be input into the data box and a dot will appear on the top boundary with that X coordinate.
The number of failure surfaces should be an integer. It is recommended that this number be at least 500.
If the user wants to use Spencer Method for the analysis, Spencer Method check box should be checked.
