A method of slope stability analysis based upon multiple wedges is developed, accounting for kinematics in a similar way to proposals by [Srbulov M. On the influence of soil strength brittleness and nonlinearity on slope stability. Comput Geotech 1997;20(1):95-104] and [Donald IB, Chen Z. Modern wedge methods of slope analysis -their power and their versatility. In: Second international conference on landslides, slope stability & the safety of infra-structures; 1999. p. 13-24]. Instead of relying on almost arbitrary assumptions about stresses on wedge or slice boundaries to demonstrate an equilibrium of both forces and moments, the method works from simple assumptions about the kinematics of movement, increasing displacements and hence resisting forces iteratively until force equilibrium is attained. The procedure is simple and efficient, and ensures that inter-wedge forces developed by the movement are consistent with the shape of the sliding surface.

Different models were developed for evaluating the probabilistic three-dimensional (3D) stability analysis of earth slopes and embankments under earthquake loading using both the safety factor and the displacement criteria of slope failure. In the 3D analysis, the critical and total slope widths bec
Earthquake effects are commonly considered in the stability analysis of rock slopes and other earth structures. The standard approach is often based on the conventional limit equilibrium method using equivalent Mohr-Coulomb strength parameters (c and /) in a slip circle slope stability analysis. The
