The main objectives of slope stability analysis are finding endangered areas, investigation of potential failure mechanisms, determination of the slope sensitivity to different triggering mechanisms, designing of optimal slopes with regard to safety, reliability and economics, designing possible remedial measures, e.g. Slope stability is the resistance of inclined surface to failure by sliding or collapsing. embankments, road cuts, open-pit mining, excavations, landfills etc.) and the equilibrium conditions. Slope stability analysis is performed to assess the safe design of a human-made or natural slopes (e.g.
