Q. Failure of a finite slope along a surface that intersects the slope above the toe:
Solution:
- Face failure occurs when soil above the toe contains weak stratum. In this case the failure plane intersects the slope above toe.
- Toe failure is the most common failure in which failure plane passes through toe of slope.
- Base failure occurs when there is a weak soil strata under the toe and failure plane passes through base of slope.
- Rotational failure can be seen in finite slopes such as earthen dams, embankments, man-made slopes etc.
