While stability of slopes is affected by various factors, pore pressure is one of the common naturalelements that influence slope stability analysis. This paper studies the effect of pore pressure on slope stability assessment by using Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM). The results will be compared to the solutions of Hoek and Bray charts. In this study, slopes with different levels of water table corresponding to those of Hoek and Bray charts are investigated. It’s interesting to observe that the results obtained from the Hoek and Bray charts yielded different factor of safety compare to those in the study here-in. In fact, the different between the factors of safety could be up to 30%. Hence this issue should be taken into consideration during slope design.
