Natural slopes have assumed a maximum inclination when they were formed. The condition in which they were formed was in limit equilibrium (safety h = 1.0). Later, due to external circumstances, the material characteristics may change or the water balance in the subsoil (embankment ) may have changed to the advantage. Therefore, natural slopes have a safety factor greater than 1.0. However, we do not know anything about the slope situation and the affected subsoil , we know nothing about the existing safety.
