Existence of more than one numerical solution to the slope stability equations derived on the basis of force and moment equilibrium requirements of statistics is indicated. These solutions satisfy the boundary conditions at both ends of a potential slide mass. In the particular case considered, the details of the calculated response for the slices for each solution set assist the designer in selecting the more reasonable solution to the problem.
