Slopes are integral to embankments, excavations, riverbanks, and natural hillsides โ€” and their stability is one of the most critical challenges in geotechnical engineering.

โš ๏ธ When not analyzed correctly, slopes can experience:

โ€ข Excessive deformation or progressive failure after rainfall or drawdown
โ€ข Instability during seismic loading or due to poor drainage
โ€ข Slope movement caused by nearby foundations or excavations
โ€ข Inadequate design of reinforcements or ground improvement
