Abstract: In this article the change of the factor of safety for slope stability of flood embankments have been analysed. The change of shear strength due to the change in the soil saturation and the forces of filtration was taken into account. The FEM analysis was carried out for two calculation cases: body of cohesive soils embankment; the body of non-cohesive soil embankment. For the body made of sandy loams, the value of factor of safety decreased from F = 3.1 (t = 0 h) to F = 1.7 (t = 504 h), while for the body built of sands from F = 2.4 (t = 0 h) to F = 1.16 (t = 6 h).
