bSLOPE — A Limit Equilibrium Slope Stability Analysis Code for iOS

Rickard and Sitar describe bSLOPE, a limit-equilibrium slope stability code implemented on iOS devices. The report reviews the underlying Bishop, Janbu and Spencer formulations, then explains how these methods were adapted for efficient computation on mobile hardware. Example problems show good agreement with established desktop software for simple slopes. The paper also discusses user-interface design and the role of such tools for education and quick field checks rather than detailed design.
