Slope stability is an important consideration in the construction and management of many Civil Engineering projects like Surface mining, Highway and Railway embankments, Landfills, Dams, Bridge abutments, Canals, Large excavation projects etc. Past research conclude the fact that slope stability is directly related to shear strength parameters, surface drainage, saturation levels of slopes of different soil types. Indian Sub-continent is diversified with soils like, Laterites, Black soil, Red soil, alluvial soil, Arid (Desert) soil, Mountain soil etc., which are derived from a wide range of rocks and minerals. These soils exhibit different index and engineering properties which are responsible for strength characteristics of the soil. Soils by their nature can form stable slopes up to a certain critical angle, namely Angle of Repose. For example, sand can resist slope up to 340, whereas, for some problematic soils like clay, slopes steeper than 250 often fail owing to their swell-shrinkage behavior. Hence, th
