Types of Slopes
1. Natural Slopes:
Hillside, Riverbank.
1. Man-made Slopes:
Dams, Canals or waterways and excavations.
1. Engineered Slopes:
Embankment and retaining wall. 11

1. Introduction: FINITE SLOPES
- Finite Slopes are the one which have a base and top surface
with the height being limited.
- The inclined faces of embankments, dams, excavation, and
others like it are all finite slopes
- Investigation of stability in finite slopes involve:
a. Assuming possible slip surface.
b. Studying the equilibrium of forces on the surface.
c. Repeating the process until we get the minimum margin
of safety for the worst case. 13

2.2 Taylor’s Number Method
Ns = Taylor’s Number
Cu = Cohesion
Taylor proposed an analyzing method to find F = Factor of Safety
the stability of slope with the possible greatest
γ = Unit Weight
angle of slope and angle of internal friction.
This method is for homogeneous soils having H = height of cut
cohesion. 27

2.3 Swedish Methods of Slices
33
In this method, the
moment caused by
internal driving forces
of a slope is equal to
the moment caused by
forces resisting slope
failure, thus...
34
Because of effective stress..
A more preferred
method for circular
failure surface with an
assumptions of
Tangent interslices
forces are equal and
opposite
40
It is assumed that the resultant forces on the sides of
the slices are
41
Resolve the forces in a vertical direction:

m=1.8 FS = m - n x ru
= 1.8 - 1.9 x
n=1.9 0.35
