The design of embankments usually involves a stability analysis by one or more of the various slip surface methods. A common feature of these methods is the assumption that a state of limiting plastic equilibrium exists over the surface of failure. The shape of the potential failure surface is, however, determined empirically. In recent years various refinements have been introduced in the most generally used method (the Swedish slip-circle); but these refinements have been superficial and the underlying assumptions of the method continue to be accepted, to a greater or lesser degree.
