Abstract:

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.
