Simplified Charts for Soil Stability Stability charts are widely used for the evaluation of soil slopes (Taylor, 1937; Bishop and Morgenstern, 1960) where the charts were developed in terms of the slope height and inclination, and the soil shear strength is expressed in terms of the soil cohesion intercept, c, and friction angle φ. These stability charts are typically presented in terms of a dimensionless stability number, N, which is often defined by Equation 1.
