Sažetak
In the last few years some alternative approaches concerning methods of rock slope stability analyses have appeared beside the traditional or deterministic principle. The so-called partial factor principle and the probabilistic approach have been introduced. However, the solution of stability large-scale rock slopes is still not found to a sufficient degree regarding the complex shape of the slip surface and the calculation of the factor of safety. To carry out correct large-scale rock slopes stability analysis it is necessary to establish a complex geotechnical model with thoroughly processed geological data. The program Mathematica, as a fully integrated environment for technical computing, facilitated the development of algorithm MathSlope assigned for rock slope stability analysis according to above-mentioned requirements. In this paper the basics of the algorithm MathSlope are presented in view of processing geological data, set-up of geotechnical model and method of estimation. In addition, the results of stability analyses of a rock slope case are given.
