Due to the attraction of the hilly views and lack of flatland in some countries, there are needs to the construction near the slopes. In evaluating slope stability, attention must be considered by geotechnical engineers, particularly to geology, surface drainage, groundwater, and soil shear strength. Slope failures depend on the soil type, soil stratification, groundwater, seepage, and the slope geometry and some failures are sudden and disastrous. The analysis of slope stability is more complicated with the existence of earthquakes, neighbour buildings or structures, unsaturated-saturated soil states. This paper reviews the effect of different parameters on the stability analysis of slopes and neighbour structures. There are distinguished effects from increasing the seismic forces and wetting process on the decreasing of soil shear strength and collapsing of the slopes.
