The STABRD program computes the factor of safety for slope stability during rapid drawdown using circular slip surfaces. Methods of analysis include Ordinary Method of Slice, Modified Bishop's Method, Lowe and Karafiath's Method, Corps of Engineers' Method. This version is a revised and recoded version (for MS DOS computer) of an original program developed first in 1971 at UC Berkeley.
