on a circular arc failure plane Ir. this method the mass of <br />• soil is divided into vertical slrces. The forces acting on <br />the slice are evaluated from the equilibrium of the slices; <br />that is, the forces that tend to drive the slice downhill <br />and the forces that tend to resist the movement of the slice. <br />The forces that tend to drive the sl i.ce downhill aL L• th~• <br />gravitational forces acting on the slice, and the facrnr:~, <br />that tend to resist the movement: of the soile, arc the <br />frictional and internal soil sCrcngt h;; acting ou the :.I 1•,~~• <br />and along the plane oC failure. The equilibrium of the <br />entire mass is determined by the ratio of the total driving <br />to the total resisting forces. <br />Our analysis included stahility analysis of the Lill <br />• based on an infinite slope analysis and slope analysis Cor <br />a wedge type failure along the fill/natural contact. <br />'these analyses were to assess the slope of the p~opocc:Ll <br />fill based on the strength characteristics of the proposed <br />£ill material.
