Abstract
The classical problem of stability analysis of a vertical cut-off unde r its own weight is investigated within the framework of the yield des ign theory. Using a class of failure mechanisms which are the generali zation of the mechanisms involving a single discontinuity surface, the kinematic approach leads to an improvement of the best upperbound est imate of the stability factor of the structure obtained up to now.
