===General acceptance===
The Sarma method has been extensively used in seismic analysis software<ref>[http://www.finesoftware.eu/geotechnical-software/help/slope-stability/sarma/ GEO 5 Geotechnical Software]</ref><ref>[http://www.slope-analysis.com/html/galena_faq.html slope stability software – Galena software ]</ref> for many years and has been the standard practice until recently for seismic slope stability for many years (similar to the [[Mononobe–Okabe method]] <ref>Okabe, S. (1926) General theory of earth pressures. Journal of the Japanese Society of Civil Engineers, 12 (1)</ref><ref>Mononobe, N & Matsuo, H. (1929) On the determination of earth pressures during earthquakes. Proceedings of the World Engineering Congress, 9.</ref> for retaining walls). Its accuracy has been verified by various researchers nad it has been proved to yield results quite similar to the modern ''safe'' [[Lower Bound]] numerical stability [[Plasticity (physics)|Limit Analysis]] methods (e.g. the 51st [[Rankine Lecture]] <ref>{{cite doi|10.1680/geot.12.RL.001}}</ref> <ref>[http://bga.city.ac.uk/cms/html/51stRankineLecture.pdf 51st Rankine Lecture – Geotechnical Stability Analysis]</ref>).
