A practical method of solving the equations of statical equilibrium to obtain the factor of safety of earth slopes, with slip surfaces of arbitrary shape, is described. The basic mathematical problem is the solution of a pair of simultaneous non-linear equations which arise from the boundary conditions on the solution of an ordinary differential equation.
... The SLOPE/W module uses the limit equilibrium method to calculate the stability of the slope (Piciullo et al. 2022). There are many methods for calculating the stability coefficient, and this study mainly uses the Morgenstern-Price method (Price and Morgenstern 1968). ...

... The total volume of the embankment is estimated to the value V = 15,500 m 3 , following that the embankment will be of a truncated pyramidal shape with radii 17.25 and 28.95 and considering that the initial embankment will shrink during the construction phase. Subsequently, the factor of safety methodologies for static and seismic loads after uniformly distributed loads to soils proposed by Bishop 1955 [48], Janbu simplified 1967 [49], Spencer 1967 [50], Lowe et Karafiath 1960 [51], and GLE-Morgenstern-Price 1967 [52] are implemented. Since the embankment has a short period of life, a factor of safety just a little greater than 1 for peak ground acceleration (the 50% of the design peak ground acceleration for the functional time a g = 0.16 g) is acceptable. ...
