This problem shows a potential slip surface partly along the sloping interface between the shell and core of an embankment. The slip surface is through the shell at the head and toe. This is reflected in the shear strengths assigned to the base of the slices.
| density | cohesion | angle of friction | |
| shell | 133 lb/ft3 | 0 | 38° |
| core | 133 lb/ft3 | 1000 lb/ft2 | 11° |
