Abstract
Failure mechanisms of homogenous rock slopes were investigated within the upper bound theorem of limit analysis. In rich water zone, the effective stress analysis of saturated slopes is considered. The corresponding charts for different types of rocks are presented for practical use. From the results, it is found that the stability factors increase with the increasing rock strength, and that the nonlinear parameter and rock types have important effects on failure mechanisms. According to the results, new equations for determining the stability factors are proposed.
