The researchers studied slope stability in a specific area and found that slopes with terraces are more stable. By varying the slope form, they discovered that terraced slopes with angles between 35° - 44° have a factor of safety of 1.28 - 1.75, indicating stability. This approach could help minimize landslides in the future.
