This study simulates the slope stability at Jiu-Fen, using the limit equilibrium method and the finite element method. The limit equilibrium method can find potential slide surfaces and safety factors rapidly. The advantage of the finite element method is that it utilizes more reasonable soil behavior and boundary conditions. A critical slide surface obtained by the limit equilibrium method can be compared with the displacement vector, stress field and location of plastic zone obtained by the finite element method. Furthermore, we can compare the safety factors produced by the two methods. This study shows that the safety factor from the limit equilibrium method is higher than that from the finite element method. The displacement analysis by the finite element method agrees well with the progressive slope failure. So, if we combine the two methods using monitored data in the field, we can analyze slope stability clearly.

The content of level has a big enough role in the value of the physical characteristic and the mechanical of material. The behavior of water in these materials needs to be analyzed first in order to support the slope stability analysis. Modeling of water behavior in materials in the construction of Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF) will be integrated in the slope stability analysis. This study aims to provide an explanation about the analysis of the Fishing Storage Facilities (TSF) which integrates transient groundwater analysis using the finite element method in supporting the stability analysis of the embankment of Tailing Storage Facilities (TSF). The variables that are used in the analysis, they are the parameters of physical properties and mechanic material for embankment and permeability parameters in analyzing groundwater. The analysis method for geotechnical and geohydrology modeling uses the finite element method. The results of analysis showed that groundwater behavior in the embankment material can be known in detail so that it can be integrated with stability analysis.   It can be seen that there is a decrease in the value of the slope safety factor using the Integrated Slope Stability Analysis method compared to the conventional method. Adding an impermeable layer using a thickness of 5 m of clay material and a thickness of 20-30 m to support the retaining wall/foot is the criterion of optimal stability. The required lining material thickness (D) can be expressed by the following drawdown percentage equation function:  reduction percentage = (1-0.8661D (-0.031)) * 100%.

Slope stability analyses in terms of effective stresses are most often based on hypothetical conditions of pore pressure. It is generally assumed that the flow occurs parallel to the slope or even that the conditions are hydrostatic. In fact, in situ measurements tend to show that the real situation could significantly deviate from these approximations due to geologic conditions. The influence of various geometric and stratigraphic factors on the groundwater regime and on the stability of slopes was studied with the finite-element method. To illustrate the parametric study, experimental evaluations of the flow patterns are presented at four sites. The stratigraphy and permeability measurements combined with the finite-element method enabled a complete flow net to be drawn and although some hypotheses had to be formulated with regards to the underlying aquifer recharge or permeability anisotropy, reasonable agreement was found between simulated and measured piezometric heads.

With the increasing requirements of environmental protection, the slope reinforcement method is becoming environment-friendly. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the study of slope reinforcement by vegetation, and the mechanism of vegetation reinforcement has been initially established, but it is not common to study vegetation reinforcement by numerical reappearance. On the basis of reviewing the mechanism of slope reinforcement by vegetation, this paper studies the vegetation reinforcement scheme of a slope by finite element method. The results show that the finite element method can be used for vegetation reinforcement simulation, and the simulation results are combined with reality. The method in this paper provides a reference for the analysis of similar problems, and also provides a reliable analysis tool for the analysis of slope reinforced by vegetation.
