A multiparameter non-proportional shear strength reduction method for slope stability analysis based on energy evolution theory
the contribution of different mechanical or material parameters to the stability is different and dynamic. In the context of shear strength reduction method (SRM) for stability analysis
it is of great significance to determine the factor of safety (FOS) by considering non-proportional reduction for these different mechanical or material parameters. This study firstly examines the mechanism of energy evolution in the process of slope failure. Then
the contribution of different mechanical parameters to dissipated energy evolution is weighted in conducting SRM
based on which we proposed a new method to calculate the FOS with multiparameter non-proportional reduction of shear strength parameters. This method can reflect the characteristic of FOS following the whole reduction path of different shear strength parameters. Subsequently
the proposed method is verified by examples. Finally
the influence of the reduction step and reduction path of the non-proportional reduction factors on the calculated FOS results is discussed.
