Chapter 6 SLOPE STABILITY<br />

A.2 PROBLEM<br />

Figure 6.14 shows a slope stability analysis of an embankment on soft clay using a commercial<br />

software; SLOPE/W. The soil stratums are as illustrated in Figure 6.14. In order to increase the<br />

factor of safety, two layers of high strength geotextiles were adopted. For embankment on soft<br />

soils, undrained condition is adopted.<br />
