Overview

Evaluate all slopes, whether a cut or a fill and whether in soil or in rock, for global stability for both short-term (undrained) and long-term (drained) conditions. Specific site conditions may require evaluation for additional types of failure, such as bearing capacity, settlement, and undercutting (for rock cuts).
