There are various slope stability analysis methods normally used to find the factor of safety of a slope. All the methods have different analysis techniques and formulation, due to which the results also varies in some cases. In this research article, all those methods are compared and the results are provided in graphical form to show the variation. The results can be used in any slope stability project to find the optimum value for factor of slope safety and hence can minimize the risk while designing any slope in hilly areas or in case of designing an earthen dam.
