Slope/W Probability of failure

When i do a probabalistic calculation i am among other things interested in the likelihood of failure for the specific Slope. That would be P(failure).
When i do the calculation i only get P(failure) for the most critical slope, why is that? Should P(failure) not be presented for all valid slope calculations?

    Hi @DavidJersenius,

    P(Failure) is calculated for every slip surface, it's just that your critical slip surface is the only slip surface that has any probability of failure. You can see that the minimum factor of safety for the critical slip surface is below 1 and the other slip surfaces all have a minimum factor of safety above 1.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
