There is greater difference for calculating result for slope stability factor because of difference of hypothesis for shear action of inter-slice in slice method of the slope stability. Based on computation and analysis of seepage field
pore water pressure of inter-slice is defined in the effective stress method. In the light of hypothesis of Bishop’s force of inter-slice
a new analysis method for pore water pressure of inter-slice is suggested for minimum stability factor of slope. Finally
an example of real engineering shows
the difference of calculated results with different methods and that the new means is practical.
