Stability of Natural Slopes and Determination of the Pressure of Incoherent Soils on Fences

A method for determining the stability of slopes and the pressure of incoherent soils on fences is described. Conditions for the ultimate equilibrium of the lower, supporting, and upper parts of the slope are considered. Active and passive pressures (loads) are determined from the condition for the ultimate equilibrium of the soil mass. The soil pressure on fences is calculated using the slope stability coefficient. Examples for calculating the critical load on the slope surface and the retaining wall parameters are given.
