Abstract
The stability of slopes and embankments under the influence of static and seismic loads has been the subject of study for many researchers. This paper stands for an attempt to present tolerable move-ments, based on caused damage on slopes of the embankments, as well as to connect them with natural disas-ters of the environment.
