In geotechnical engineering, the sliding criterion generally refers to the conditions under which a soil mass, slope, or structure may experience sliding or failure due to shear stress exceeding the shear strength of the materials involved. This concept is particularly important in the analysis of stability for slopes, retaining walls, and earth dams.
