Numerical Study of Plastic Strains on Slope Instability

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article simulates an open pit slope stability using the ANSYS software, which is based on the finite element strength reduction theory, three kinds of slope instability criterion of the strength reduction method are applied to judge whether the slope is on the limit equilibrium state, the incremental search method is used to search the safety factor of the slope stability, and the results show that, the slope body damages when the plastic zone developed from the top to the bottom, in the numerical simulation the finite element iteration calculation didn’t just converge, the corresponding former level of reduction factor is the safety factor, This article can have a guiding significance on the safety production of the open-pit mine.
