Siegel documents a general computer program for slope stability that handles complex geometries, multiple materials, various pore-pressure conditions and different limit-equilibrium methods. The report describes algorithms for critical slip-surface search and interslice force treatment, and presents examples showing non-intuitive critical surfaces.
