@Nikhil.

Face failure DF=1.
Toe failure DF<1.
Base failure DF>1.

The ratio of the depth of failure= (D+H).
To the depth of slope (H) is called depth factor (Df),
Df=H+D/H.

For the failure, depth factor (Df)= H/H=1 and for base failure,
Df>1.

And for face failure, Df<1.

Df = (D + H) /D = 1+ H/D >1.
