Slope are an exposed ground surface that stands at an angle with the horizontal.
Slope is stable (a)if the resistance offered is more than applied force otherwise unstable(b).

Types of slope failures
Failures
Translational type
• Failure of slope along weak zone of soil.
• Sliding mass travel long distance before coming to rest.
• Common in coarse grained soil.
Rotational type
• Common in fine grained soils.
• An imaginary axis –point theory exist along which slope is said to rotate to reach a stable position.
• Can be circular & non-circular

•Gravity: The universal force that tends to move anything from a high point to a point of equilibrium and additional loads placed on top of the slope increases hence effecting stability.
•Erosion: The wind and flowing water causes erosion of top surface of slope and makes the slope steep and thereby increase the tangential component of driving force.

Contd…•Water Seepage force: Seepage forces in the sloping direction add to gravity forces and make the slope susceptible to instability. The pore water pressure decrease the shear strength. This condition is critical for the downstream slope
•Sudden Drawdown: In this case there is reversal in the direction flow and results in instability of side slope. Due to sudden drawdown the shear stresses are more due to saturated unit weight while the shearing resistance decreases due to pore water pressure that does not dissipate quickly.

•Earthquakes: They induce dynamic shear forces. In addition there is sudden buildup of pore water pressure that reduces available shear strength.

Nature of slopes
Slopes
Infinite slopesThey have dimensions that extend over great distances and the soil mass is inclined to the horizontal.
Finite slopesIs one with a base and top surface, the height being limited. The inclined faces of earth dams, embankments and excavation and the like are all finite slopes.

Def: Factor of safety of a slope is defined as the ratio of average shear strength (f ) of a soil to the average shear stress (d) developed along the potential failure surface.

Culmann’s Method: for planar failure surface
Assumptions,• failure of a slope occurs along a
plane when the average shearing stress tending to cause the slip is more than the shear strength of the soil.
• Also, the most critical plane is the one that has a minimum ratio of the average shearing stress that tends to cause failure to the shear strength of soil.

Face (Slope) failure
• This type of failure occurs when the slope angle (β) is large and when the soil at the toe portion is strong.

Toe failure
• In this case the failure surface passes through the toe. This occurs when the slope is steep and homogeneous.

Tailor’s stability number:• Taylor (1937) conceived the idea of analyzing the
stability of a large number of slopes through a wide range of slope angles and angles of internal friction, and then representing the results by an abstract number which he called the "stability number".

• In this procedure, the soil above the surface of sliding is divided into a number of vertical parallel slices. The stability of each slice is calculated separately. This is a versatile technique in which the non homogeneity of the soils and pore water pressure can be taken into consideration. It also accounts for the variation of the normal stress along the potential failure surface.
