Sensitivity Analysis

This document presents results from three sensitivity analyses on factors of safety calculations for a slope using the Bishop and Swedish methods. The first analyzes sensitivity to cohesion (C), showing that factor of safety increases with higher C. The second analyzes friction angle (phi), with higher phi resulting in higher safety. The third analyzes sensitivity to volumetric coefficient of consolidation (Cv), with factor of safety increasing for higher Cv.
