Engineering Application of the Slope Failure Criterion Weishui Fei1,a,Conglin Zhang2,b,Pengxiang Shen1,c 1Faculty of Civil Engineering and Mechanics, Kunming University of science and Technology, Kunming, 650093, China 2 Hubei Traffic Planning and Designing Institute, Wuhan, Hubei, 430051, China a fws6407@163.com,b 791642164@qq.com,c 314697936@qq.com Key words: failure criterion, progressive evolution, unstable failure Abstract: The nouniformity of rock and soil materials and differences of boundary conditions caused the differentiation of stress field, together with the elastic-plastic characteristics of sliding zone material control the progressive unstable failure process.
In this paper, The analysis of engineering example shows that the mechanical criterion is reasonable to judge the state of progressive slope evolution.
Engineering applications The natural slope angle of K39 +246 ~ K39 +412 highway side slope is about 20 degrees, the maximum height of the slope is 31.8m, and covered with thick silty clay.
(3) The engineering case study indicates that the failure criterion can give the actual stability of slope.

Introduction Uncertainty lies commonly in every stage of civil engineering.
In civil engineering, probability theory is the most common way for uncertainty quantification, which is very useful in many cases, especially when the probability distribution is known exactly.
With the development for 30 years, evidence theory has gained an increasing amount of attention both from the theoretical and the applied point of view now, however, the main focus is still on aerospace, automobile, energy, and it is still a young field in civil engineering.
