HI!!
Please suggest a code or ref for slope stability (slope of embankment) design for highway embankment and also for retaining embankment between two levels

For design look at Geotechnical engineering of dams.

For code on the stability look at your local jurisdiction. Canadian dam association, usace, usbr, ferc have guidelines, local jurisdictions have there own requirements typically referencing the national guidelines.

For a project of significance, I wouldn't venture into it relying on references. You need someone with actual experience in these matters.
