Slope stability analysis of critical slope along North South Highway (Southern Region) using limit equilibrium method

The occurrence of slope failure is always hard to be predicted. Hence, slope stability analysis must be often carried out in order to ensure the slope is safe and also minimise the probability of slope failure. The slope stability analysis is a prediction on what conditions that can make the slope f...
