    • But when you introduce a slope, the weight of the soil above can create a shear failure.

      But when you introduce a slope, the weight of the soil above can create a shear failure.

    • We can manually solve for the shear forces at any point in a soil mass, but that would be a fairly tedious engineering exercise, so most slope stability analyses use software.
