Métodos para el análisis de la estabilidad de pendientes

This document presents, in a concise manner, different methods that have been developed for slope stability analysis. These methods are compared from the point of view of the assumptions that each of these methods uses to solve the problem. Among the most used methods are: the Limit Equilibrium Method with its variants, the Limit Analysis Method based on the theorems of the lower-bound and upper-bound, and the Numerical Methods with emphasis on the Finite Element Method, which uses the soil strength reduction technique. This document also presents a compilation of references for each method, which may form the starting point for further improvement of each methodology used in slope stability analysis.
