Summary

In the present paper a study concerning the stability of soil slopes is developed through the application of the basics of the limit equilibrium analysis. Commonly the stability of a slope is evaluated by means of some methods that strongly simplify the behaviour of the stresses in the soil. In the following approach the stability problem is treated starting by the hypothesis of soil stability, with equilibrated and admissible stresses, and evaluating the possible causes determining the instability of the stresses, as an equilibrated but not necessarily admissible stress field, and the collapse of the slope.
