Slope stability is usually analysed by limit equilibrium methods in two dimensions. Investigations of the failure of Carsington embankment in 1984 have illustrated limitations to such analyses. These are discussed. They include a reduced average strength due to progressive failure in two dimensions progressive failure due to lateral load transfer in three dimensions, and lateral load transfer after the slide such that the residual strength could not be deduced from back-analysis.
