This article analyze the slope stability by strength reduction method named Phi-c which supplied by FE software PLAXIS. The reduction factor is suggest to be the safety factor of the slope at the moment when the slope reaches instability, the numerical non-convergence occurs simultaneously. The position of sliding surface and dynamic simulation of instability can be obtain as well. This article has compared the results calculated by other methods Bishop and ABAQUS with difference between 2%-3% which attest to its accuracy and practicability in engineering.

The strength reduction method is applied in the analysis of slope stability, strength reduction, into the finite element program for calculating, until computations convergence. Combined with the engineering example, comparison of slope stability finite element method and the traditional limit equilibrium method the results show that, based on the strength reduction finite element analysis of slope stability is feasible.

The present study is to investigate the stability of the backfill subgrade on the lower bearing capacity foundation. A finite element (FE) model was constructed to simulate the high-filled road subjected to the actual self-weight load. The strength reduction method was adopted to establish an analysis model of slope stability. At the same time, the sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the slope stability was carried out through parametric studies, including the elastic modulus, cohesion, internal friction angle, and slope rate. The results showed that the slope stability analysis model established by the strength reduction method can characterize the stability of the slope by calculating the slope safety coefficient. The mutation point of the relationship curve between the displacement generated in the slope and the reduction coefficient can be used as the criterion. Under the condition of a given strength reduction coefficient, the calculated results obtained through FE modeling can show the development of the equivalent plastic zone in the form of cloud diagrams.

The stability of the soil slop is influenced by many factors. In this paper, the influence of cross section geometric shape on the slope stability is analyzed by establishing a reasonable calculation model and using finite element strength reduction method. Results indicate that the slope stability of stepped excavation surface is higher than that of linear excavation surface, and the stability is better with larger and more platforms, the designers should make a choice in design by comparing cost and ease of construction. Slope table form also has affections, the stability of concave linear and convex slope type decreases in turn.

According to finite element strength reduction method,the article has discussed the failure mechanism of anti-sliding pile by using finite element software MIDAS /GTS ,exploration report and anti-sliding pile design data.The comparative analysis shows that the failure of anti-siding pile is contributed by the slope excavation and rainwater.The analysis method and results can provide reference significance to other anti-sliding pile design.This paper also provide a feasible method for prediction of consequence in slope excavation.

In the design process of the earth-rock dam, the slope stability problem was always focused on. The shear strength of rockfill in the earth-rock dam had strong nonlinear characteristics. The characteristic directly affected the factor of safety (FOS) of stability of dam slope and the determination of the critical slip surface. The shear strength parameter of rockfill was related to the minimum principal stress σ3 closely. And the value of σ3 had close relationship with the deformation characteristics of filling material and the process of dam filling etc. Strength reduction method has been widely used in solving the FOS of slope stability, and this method has the advantage on the searching of the critical slip surface. Combining the deformation and stress analysis of earth-rockfill dam filling process and the strength reduction method, this paper proposes a comprehensive method of dam slope stability analysis.
