Is force and moment equilibrium satisfied by Janbu’s method, Bishop’s method and Morgenstern-Price method?

Janbu’s method and Morgenstern-Price method are non-circular analytical method and they are frequently used for soil slopes while Bishop’s method is circular analytical method. Bishop’s Simplified method and Janbu’s Simplified method assume that the inter-slice forces are horizontal and inter-slice shear forces are neglected.
