Thinking on the Progressive Failure Analysis of the Slope

The progressive failure study of the slope is a challenging problem. There exist a lot of problems at present in this area, it’s necessary to do some summaries. This paper did some analysis and discussion from four aspects: limit equilibrium analysis of the slope progressive failure; test analysis of the slope progressive failure, numerical simulation of the slope progressive failure and limit equilibrium analysis on the basis of finite element, and provided some reference for slope progressive failure study.
