1. An exposed ground surface that stands at an angle with the horizontal

2. The process of calculating and assessing how much stress of a particular
slope can be manage before falling.
3. These walls are capable of being temporary for stability rehabilitation or
permanent.
4. It is achieved through the use of steel nails, which help provide support to
the slope and/or infrastructure.
5. Refers to the blocks which are strategically placed across the slope to
resist the movement of sliding soil.
