a finite element analysis model is set up for slope excavation
and the landform and geological condition and excavation process of Silin Hydropower Station’s navigation lock are simulated in detail. The stress
displacement and factor of safety of slope stability are analyzed under different conditions such as the natural condition
excavation step by step and reinforcement by anchor rod etc. Based on the definition of local factor of safety of element
the distribution of factor of safety of slope stability is obtained for before and after reinforcement during excavation. According to the calculation result
it is shown that the slope is stable under the designed engineering measure and without other reinforcement measure.
