Introduction

Slopes can be natural (in hillside and valley, coastal or river cliffs) or man-made (embankments for highways and railways, earth dams, excavation). In case of slopes existing forces cause the soil movements from higher point to lower point and slopes become more stable. If soil mass moves in a slope it is referred as slope failure. The slope failure may occur due to earthquake also. Slopes can be infinite slopes (as shown in Figure 28.1a) and finite slopes (as shown in Figure 28.1b).
