An analytical method is presented for analysis of slope stability involving cohesive and non-cohesive soils. Earthquake e!ects are considered in an approximate manner in terms of seismic coe$cient-dependent forces. Two kinds of failure surfaces are considered in this study: a planar failure surface,

Abstract
The method of slices commonly used for estimating static stability of natural slopes and embankments is extended to include the dynamic effects due to earthquake loading. The equation of motion of a typical slice along a path different from its base is derived. The calculations of displacement of a slide mass using the Newmark procedure are discussed and illustrated with an example problem.

Piles used for the stabilization of slopes have to be adequately designed to resist the induced lateral loads due to the movement of the unstable slope. In this paper, a numerical method is presented for the analysis of this problem. In this approach, the piles are modelled using beam finite element
## SUMMARY Because of the simplicity and the speed of execution, methods used in static stability analyses have yet remained relevant. The keyโblock method, which is the most famous of them, is used for the stability analysis of fractured rock masses. The KBM method is just based on finding key blo
