Limit Equilibrium – Circular Analysis
Circular failure surfaces are found to be the most critical in soil slopes
consisting of homogenous materials. There are two analytical, statically
determinate, methods commonly used to calculate the FS for these
slopes: the circular arc (φ=0) and the friction circle method.

Limit Equilibrium – Method of Slices
The previous methods discussed do not depend on the distribution of
the effective normal stresses along the failure surface. However, if
the mobilized strength for a c-φ soil is to be calculated, this
distribution must be accounted for.

Plane Sliding – Kinematic Analysis
To consider the kinematic feasibility of plane instability, four necessary
but simple criteria are introduced:
(a) The dip of the slope must exceed the dip of the potential slide
plane;
(b) The potential slip plane must daylight on the slope plane;
(c) The dip of the potential slip plane must be such that the
strength of the plane is reached;
(d) The dip direction of the sliding plane should lie approximately
±20° of the dip direction of the slope.

Wedge Sliding – Kinematic Analysis
To consider the kinematic feasibility of wedge instability, we need to
consider three criteria relating to the line of intersection:

Wedge Sliding – Limit Equilibrium Analysis
Assuming that the direction of
sliding is parallel to the line of
intersection of the two sliding
planes, forces parallel to this
line and perpendicular to the
sliding planes can be resolved in
order to determine the factor of
safety.

Toppling Instability
To final fundamental mechanical mode of
structurally controlled slope instability, involves
toppling failures. Toppling generally occurs in
two modes:

Direct Toppling – Kinematic Analysis
The kinematic-based question in the case of direct toppling
is whether a block resting on an inclined surface will be
stable, or slide, or topple. The nature of direct toppling is
determined from considerations of the block geometry and
the angle of friction between the block and the surface on
which it is resting.
