Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and geotechnical engineers interested in stability of soil embankment slopes. Here is what is discussed:
1. GENERAL USE AND APPLICABILITY OF SLOPE STABILITY
CHARTS
2. AVERAGING SLOPE INCLINATIONS, UNIT WEIGHTS AND SHEAR
STRENGTHS
3. SOILS WITH Φ = 0
4. SOILS WITH Φ > 0
5. INFINITE SLOPE ANALYSES
6. SOILS WITH Φ = 0 AND STRENGTH INCREASING WITH DEPTH
