Your question is not very clear in fact.Firstly,there are many kind of slope failure,such as landslides.Which one do you mean to?Secondly,every places have their own reason of "slope failure".Which places do you mean to? Anyway,I just share knowledge of mine to you.Hope you won't mind if the question isn't the one you want. What is the causing of landslides in Hong Kong?the causings of landslides in Hong Kong are heavy rainfall,rocks and soil materials and human activities.For detail,find in the questions I have answered.I remember I have answer one like this just in today.

What is the major internal cause of slope failure?
The major internal cause of slope failure is gravity.
Why does freezing and thawing cause sediment to move down hill?
The overall process is called Solifluction. If you imagine single particle (in the soil) on a gentle slope. When the water in the soil freezes, it expands and forces the particle away from the slope at right angles to the slope. When the ice then thaws gravity will cause the particle to settle back but the movement will be in a downwards direction, not in the direction it first moved. Add this movement together, repeate season after season and the particle gradually moves down slope.
What are the hazards of Lead oxide?

Factor of slope failure?
Saturation.
What would cause the dash lights to simultaneously turn on and the engine to lock up?
Major engine failure?
Why rear end locked up?
Major failure. Remove the cover and the cause should be easily visible.
What is one cause of heart failure?
Plants cause heart failure
How tension crack causes slope failure?
Thension crack is generated by the difference in shear movement along the failure surface or slip plane. It formed in the upper slope face before the major failure surface appeared. So, the total shear resistance and thus the safety factor will reduce after this tension crack developement. However, this tension crack will stop developing when it reaches a critical depth. And, a new tension crack will develope behind that previous crack.
What are the different types of slope failure for rock slopes?
1. shear failure 2. rock flow 3. rock fall
What major factor may cause heat exhaustion?
Strenuous exercise in hot, humid weather, coupled with failure to stay hydrated.
What is the major cause of bus accidents?
There are many causes of bus accidents. One of the major causes of bus accidents, as with any auto accident, is the failure of a driver to see another driver on the road.
Can steroids cause kidney failure in dogs?
i dont think they would cause kidney failure, but it would cause lots of other problems.
What are the factors leads to insulation failure in electrical machines?
A major cause is overheating. The resistance of insulating materials generally falls with an increase in temperature, so excessive temperatures can cause insulation failure. This is often brought about by the motor being continuously overloaded, or its ventilation orifices becoming blocked.
