In order to prevent the change in the level required by the terrain, generally, embankments are formed using compacted soil (i.e., generally clay or rock based) are used to sustain roads, railways or even canals built over it. The following study focuses on slope failure analysis which is primarily based on site investigations and lab testing. Design analysis completed on GEO5 software that requires geotechnical properties. Slope stability analysis using GEO5 software deals with various techniques such as Bishop’s changed technique, Spencer’s method, Morgenstern-Price method, Janbu’s simplified method, and so on. Parameters such as cohesion of soil, angle of internal friction, and unit weight of soil on which slope stability analysis depends are determined in the laboratory. Geotechnical properties of soil including grain size, optimum moisture content (OMC), maximum dry density (MDD), and shear strength parameters are taken into consideration for designing and construction of high embankment up to 20 m. In the present study, the optimization aspect of slope stability with required FOS as per IRC guidelines is discussed. Highway embankment was taken and settlement analyzed for different combinations of soil stratum. The numerical modeling finished the usage of GEO5 geotechnical software for discovering the FOS. The geotechnical parameters varied for specific slope and the FOS computed.
