Sumario:When the finite element-strength reduction method is used for two-dimensional slope stability analysis for elastic-perfectly plastic material, the failure criterion usually adopts the criterion of plastic zone penetration. That is, when the slope is in the limit equilibrium state, the plastic zone goes through the slope from the toe to the top. Meanwhile, the critical slip surface is composed of a series of points of maximum equivalent plastic strain along the depth direction. By deploying a set of parallel lines approximately perpendicular to the slope surface and picking out the points of these lines with the maximum equivalent strain points, we obtain a series of points taking on a wave shape, which constitutes a signal function. Subsequently, the wavelet packet analysis is used to smooth these points, i.e., locating the critical slip surface. The analysis of classic examples and comparison with Spencer’s method show that the proposed method in this paper is reasonable and effective.
