A three-dimensional (3D) slope stability analysis method is presented in this paper based on three-dimensional independent cover based manifold method (ICMM3D) and vector sum method (VSM). ICMM3D is proposed in the framework of independent cover, which avoid the time-consuming and error-prone cover...
