According to the practical experiences in the expressway construction in the mountain region
the form and position of the slip curve surface
and the ultimate bearing capacity are found out by the large scale model experiment. Based on the generalized limit equilibrium method
the computation procedure for the stability analysis of embankments on the mountain slope is programmed by using Visual Basic. The model experiment is calculated by this program; and the calculation results are compared with those from the experiment; and the comparison shows that the generalized limit equilibrium method is feasible
