(Reprinted, ). Author: Geotechnical Engineering Office. Abstract. The Geotechnical Manual for Slopes provides guidance for the standards of practice that should be adopted for the design, construction and maintenance of slopes and site formation works in Hong Kong.

Slope stability analysis is performed to assess the safe design of a human-made or natural slopes and the equilibrium conditions. Slope is the resistance of inclined surface to failure by sliding or collapsing. The failure of a slope may lead to loss of life and property. It is therefore. This engineer manual (EM) provides guidance for analyzin g the static stability of slopes of earth and rock-fill dams, slopes of other types of embankments, excavated slopes, and natural slopes in soil and soft rock. Methods for analysis of slope stability are described and are illustrated by examples in the appendixes. AN ENGINEERING MANUAL FOR SLOPE STABILITY STUDIES by J. M. Duncan A. L.
