In the stability analysis of low embankments on rather impervious soil stratum,the φ=0 analysis can be used unless the construction is slow. A design graph for low embankments is compiled using circular slip surface by the φ=0 analysis for the case when the undrained strength of soil increases linearly with depth. The same analysis is applied to the problem of the ultimate bearing capacity of long footing. A brief description of Odenstad's method for designing low embankments is given the appendix.
