Abstract. A semi-analytical solution for the three-dimensional stability analysis of ultimate uniform patched load on top a slope is developed by limit using kinematically admissible failure mechanisms. The mechanism which assumed in analytical verified strength reduction analyses and laboratory model test. Furthermore, proposed method results are further compared with some published illustrating applicability mechanism.
