Geotechnical engineering

a limit-equilibrium method for slope stability that divides a circular slip mass into slices and accounts for forces between them.

In geotechnical engineering, Bishop's method of slices refers to a limit-equilibrium method for slope stability that divides a circular slip mass into slices and accounts for forces between them. This meaning comes from Bishop (1955) in Géotechnique.[1]
