Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Stability Number
Stability Number is a parameter used to assess the stability of slopes, particularly in soil mechanics and geotechnical analyses.
Symbol: Sn
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Unit Weight of Soil
Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
