Abstract

Slope excavations are often constructed in stratified host rock masses in practice. In order to describe the effect of the inclination of layer of rock mass to the factor of safety of slope. a rock slope in one road is chosen as the engineering project. In the present paper, the stability mechanism of slope is analyzed. Numerical models for the slope are founded, the application method of shear strength reduction technique is discussed, and the convergence of numerical computations criterion is chosen as the failure criterion for slope. At last, according to the numerical calculation results, the influential factors to the stability of stratified rock slope are analyzed, to give guidance for the real practice.
