Sensitive Analysis of Factors Affecting Soil Slope Stability

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to get better calculation parameters for slope stability analysis, as well as provide a better theoretical basis for slope design and reinforcement. In this paper, based on the single factor sensitivity analysis method, the finite difference strength reduction method was taken to calculate the slope safety coefficient when influence factors change. Sensitivity analysis process was explained through a numerical example, the calculation result shows that, influence factor sensitivity of slope stability is related to the value of influence factor.
