Influence of Both Soil Properties and Geometric Parameters on Failure Mechanisms and Stability of Two-Layer Undrained Slopes

<div>The “two strongest surface failure mechanism” for this case with two methods. (a) Deformed mesh at failure corresponding to the “two strongest surface mechanism” with <i>FEM.</i> (b) The “two strongest surface mechanism” with <i>LEM</i> and computed minimum factor of safety.</div>
