Abstract
The aim of this paper is to develop two-and three-dimensional stability charts for slopes
susceptible to translational failure. An extensive parametric study was conducted using a
slope model that is designed to simulate field conditions with respect to configurations of the
sliding mass, and unit weight and shear strength of the involved materials. Slopes subjected
to different conditions of pore-water pressures and seismic forces were considered in the
study. The study shows the special importance and difficulties of considering the end
susceptible to translational failure. An extensive parametric study was conducted using a
