With the anti-shear parameters reduction, the nonlinear strength reduction FEM model of slope turns to unstable status and the numerical non-convergence occurs simultaneously. Hence, the safety stability factor obtained based on c-φ reduction algorithm can be regarded as equal to stability factor obtained using limit equilibrium method. In this paper, stability analysis of one reservoir slope is made and the calculation results show that the strength reduction method matches the traditional grid limit equilibrium method well, yet with much more available information. Efficient and accurate, the strength reduction FEM is feasible to examine slope stability and analyze slope movement patterns.

Present methods for stability analysis of underwater slopes are mostly confined to laboratory experiments and limit equilibrium method. This paper is based on strength reduction method, considering the deformation parameters of rock mass to discuss the stability of underwater slopes. Comparing the consequences, the sliding planes and safety factors agreed well with the result of limit equilibrium method. The applicability of strength reduction method for underwater slopes stability was well proved. When analyzing after changing the water depth, it was showed that there are more erosion effect induced and reduction for the parameters of rock mass, but little influence on the safety factor of underwater slopes.

With the slope unstable rock masses of a stope in Longsi mine, Jiaozuo City, China as the target, we computed and analyzed the stability of unstable rock masses using a limit equilibrium method (LEM) and a discrete element strength reduction method (SRM). Results show that the unstable rock masses are currently stable. Under the external actions of natural weathering, rainfall and earthquake, unstable rock mass 1 was manifested as a shear slip failure mode, and its stability was controlled jointly by bedding-plane and posterior-margin steep inclined joints. In comparison, unstable rock mass 2 was manifested as a tensile-crack toppling failure mode, and its stability was controlled by the perforation of posterior-margin joints. From the results of the 2 methods we find the safety factor determined from SRM is larger, but not significantly, than that from LEM, and SRM can simulate the progressive failure process of unstable rock masses. SRM also provides information about forces and deformation (e.g. stress-strain, and displacement) and more efficiently visualizes the parts at the slope that are susceptible to instability, suggesting SRM can be used as a supplementation of LEM.

Abstract. Combined the strength reduction method with ABAQUS, the development of the slope plastic strain of different reduction coefficient is obtained by constantly adjusting reduction coefficient to change the strength index of the soil. The reduction coefficient is obtained from the criterion of numerical convergence and displacement mutation and plastic zone breakthrough. Through the analysis and comparison with the results, the reduction coefficient by the criterion of displacement mutation is consistent with the result of the criterion of plastic zone breakthrough. The reduction coefficient is the safety coefficient of the slope, and compared and analyzed with the slope factor of limit equilibrium method Bishop. The result shows that the displacement mutation and the plastic zone breakthrough as criterions to judge the slope instability are reasonable.
