The subject slope discussed in this paper runs east-west about 0.4 kilometers, is ∼18 meter tall and roughly 25° to 40°, and leads down to the beach of Bellingham Bay, in Bellingham, Washington, USA. In the spring of 2009, after a period of excessive wet weather, a part of the slope (∼50 meter long) experienced failure. Emergency response was called for to repair the failure section and slope stability analysis was executed for the remaining of the slope and slope was regraded for a safer slope with installation of curtain drain and placement of cast-in-place piles in the upcoming agenda. Field test borings were drilled to about 28 meters depth and soils were analyzed for pertinent engineering properties for slope stability analysis. STABLE program of University of Wisconsin-Madison was used for the analysis and building setback was recommended, which has an acceptable factor of safety (FS) under static and seismic conditions.
