Present 3D limit equilibrium (LE) methods do not incorporate shear resistance from near vertical sides parallel to the direction of slide movement. Consequently, the computed 3D factor of safety (FS) is underestimated and the shear strength parameters from an inverse analysis are overestimated. The present study uses continuum mechanics to calculate the magnitude of side shear resistance along near vertical sides of a translational slide mass. Results of the parametric study show use of an earth pressure coefficient (Kτ) that is in-between at-rest (K0) and active (KA) earth pressure and Mohr-Colombo strength criteria provides a reasonable estimate of the side shear resistance and 3D/2D FS ratios that are in agreement with finite element (FE) and finite difference (FD) a continuum analyses. Based on these findings, charts showing the influence of shear resistance on 3D/2D FS ratios for various slope inclinations and geometries are presented herein.
