The assessment of slope stability analysis is necessary in predicting the failure of any earthen slope. Factor of safety is a primary index in accessing the slope stability analysis. Limit equilibrium technique is a traditional method which is commonly used. However, various computational methods are tremendously used in practice nowadays, with increase in computation and memory resources. Among various numerical methods, finite element method is a reliable alternative to the traditional method available to the engineers. This study brings out the comparison of limit equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM)-based 2-D solution for slope stability analysis using Midas-Soilworks software for a particular earthen slope.
