Figure 3.15. Stability coefficient for rockfill slopes (from Charles & Soares 1984)
As a consequence, the safety factor for a projected slope compared to a reference
prototype is given by the relation:

The ratio in the first term of the equation directly gives the scale effect due to the
embankment height. Our scale effect relationship on the shear strength (equation
