At present, in-situ stress was not considered in Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) of slopes, the influence of in-situ stress is very small on the stability of conventional slopes, but in deep-depressed open-pit mines, the influence should not be neglected. Formula for calculating the Factor of Safety (FOS) under the effect of horizontal in-situ stress was deduced using General Slice Method (GSM) of two-dimensional (2D) limit equilibrium method in this paper，a corresponding program SSLOPE was built, and the software was used in a deep- depressed open-pit iron mine. The results show that the FOS of the slope decreased by 20% when horizontal in-situ stress is considered, some reinforcements must be taken. Therefore, the influence of in-situ stress on slope stability should be taken into account in deep open –pit mines.

Several commonly encountered problems associated with the limit equilibrium methods of slices are discussed. These problems are primarily related to the assumptions used to render the inherently indeterminate analysis determinate. When these problems occur in the stability computations, unreasonable solutions are often obtained. It appears that problems occur mainly in situations where the assumption to render the analysis determinate seriously departs from realistic soil conditions. These problems should not, in general, discourage the use of the method of slices. Example problems are presented to illustrate these difficulties and suggestions are proposed to resolve these problems.

The reliability theory based analysis is more advanced and reasonable compared with the traditional methods for slope stability analysis. Limit equilibrium method is usually used to evaluate the stability of a slope. In this paper, a new reliability analysis method is obtained based on JC method and multi sliding surface method which a new limit equilibrium method developed by Huang. Then, this new method is applied for a wharf slope. The sliding surface get from the safety factor is not the same as that from reliability index though they are close to each other. The safety factor or reliability index get from Fellenius method is smaller than that from other method. The safety factor or reliability index get from multi sliding surface method is close to that from Bishops method. The reliability index can be more reasonable after the standard deviation of the soil property index is deduced with random field theory.

The Stability

The traditional limit equilibrium method in the analysis of slope stability not only exists some subjective empirical hypothesis that can not meet the equilibrium of force and moment, but also ignores the effects of internal stress and strain on the slope stability. Furthermore, in the stability of the slope evaluation, limit equilibrium method relies too much on experience when hypothesizing the slope slip surface. So that it makes deviation on slope analysis and stability evaluation. This paper is based on simplified Bishop method used to establish the model of slope stability analysis. And it used genetic algorithms to solve the minimum safety factor and the most dangerous slip surface of slope. It was the arithmetic which simulates organisms genetic evolutionary process and it avoided the traditional methods falling into the local extreme value point easily and error propagation leading to convergence. The algorithm had advantages of higher accuracy, quick convergence and applicability. It showed that the genetic algorithm is accurate and reliable in the analysis of slope stability.

Xiufengsi Landslide is an ancient landslide in Wushan County, Chongqing, China. Under natural condition, this landslide is stable. Due to the Three Gorges Reservoir, however, the water level in this region fluctuates within the range of [145 m, 175 m], periodically. Furthermore, an increasing number of residential quarters have been built on this landslide that also increase the possibility of occurrences of the landslide. Motivated by the government’s desire to take measures in control the landslide, we use two approaches to study the stability of this landslide. Under different computational conditions, the safety factors of the landslide are calculated by using limit equilibrium method and finite element method, respectively. Based on the comparison of the results, the stability of the landslide is analyzed more objectively and comprehensively. This work also lends insight into the landslide forecast.

Amending the normal stress over the slip surface based on the stress field by numerical analysis, applying the three-dimensional global limit equilibrium method to the stability analysis of tension-slackened rock mass in the right bank of Yagen hydropower station. Stability analysis shows that if do not take any measures, the loose rock mass stability can cater to the Specification demand, but some small sliders is in the limit state under the water and earthquake condition, if use the cutting slope and unloading scheme, the whole loose rock mass and the all small sliders can meet the Specification standard stability requirements.

The safety is first-class important event of the dam. The crash for the gravity dam usually causes due to slid, the slippery stable is a key problem of big dam. This paper checks the stability of one dam by rigid body limit equilibrium method and finite element technique. Rigid body limit equilibrium method is a kind of traditional stable analytical method, which is confirmed by factual engineering, the safe coefficient is always used to judge the big dam safety degree. The finite element technique is a method which is quickly developed in the calculator science and the basic theories of the rock soil mechanics. The paper compares the two methods and makes sure the fact that the finite element is more reasonable than rigid body limit equilibrium method for analyzing the stability of gravity dam.

Rock bolt crane girder is a structure form which is widely used in the underground powerhouse of hydropower station. It makes reinforced concrete anchored in the underground powerhouse rock using anchor rod, and makes the reinforced concrete, anchor rod and surrounding rock work together to resist the load. Stability has been a common problem in the realm of engineered construction. This article will analysis the stability of the rock bolt crane girder in a underground powerhouse of hydropower station by using the traditional rigid body limit equilibrium method and the finite element method, and give several destroying forms. The results show that the rigid body limit equilibrium method is flawed, need to be corrected; In overload cases, the contact surface of girder and rock crack, it turns the damage to the bottom O point at the end; When it is simulated by the strength storage method, the crane girder's shear yield slips the damage along the base.

Present methods for stability analysis of underwater slopes are mostly confined to laboratory experiments and limit equilibrium method. This paper is based on strength reduction method, considering the deformation parameters of rock mass to discuss the stability of underwater slopes. Comparing the consequences, the sliding planes and safety factors agreed well with the result of limit equilibrium method. The applicability of strength reduction method for underwater slopes stability was well proved. When analyzing after changing the water depth, it was showed that there are more erosion effect induced and reduction for the parameters of rock mass, but little influence on the safety factor of underwater slopes.
