As a consequence, in the example cited in the note, that is, for Su/γR = 0.1, Θ = 60° or π/3 radians, and β = 26.6°, the factorof safety F becomes equal to 1.402. This is the same value as that obtained by Hungr et al. (1989).
It should be noted that these errors were brought to the attention of the author by Dr. Peter Wood of Ian Brown AssociatesLtd., Wellington, New Zealand. The author is greatly indebted to Dr. Wood.
