Slope stability analysis is one of the most challenging field in which the slope factor of safety is the main concern. Normally limit equilibrium and finite element methods are used to analyse such slopes. A variation in the result is also found in both these analysis methods. This analysis work is done using both limit and finite equilibrium methods. The variation in the factor of safety is investigated and a correlation is developed. These values can be used to know about the safe value for factor of safety in any homogenous slopes.
