Basic Analysis of Homogenous Slope Stability by Finite Element Method Based on Plaxis

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
