Driving Moment in Stability of Slopes In Earthen Dams Formulas

Driving Moment is the moment (or torque) that drives or causes rotational movement in a soil mass or structural element, such as a retaining wall or pile foundation. And is denoted by M_D. Driving Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Driving Moment is always positive.
