Slope Stability. A slope is an inclined ground surface which can be either natural or human-made. Slope stability refers to the condition that an inclined slope can withstand its own weight and external forces without experiencing displacement. Slope stability uses principles of soil/rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering and engineering geology.

Slope stability analysis is closely related to the existing structure pattern, especially discontinuous plane. In this analysis, rock was assumed to be a rigid plane separated by weak plane that is cut by joints making the bed look like being cut into pieces; thus, the movement is purely due to frictional force at the bottom of the slope.
