Aiming at the typical geological profile of Fujiapo landslide section of Enshi Gaoping—Jixin section in national Hu—Rong highway
the safety factor of the landslide under saturated state and native state are studied using the strength coefficient reduction method of FEM. It is drawn that the slope under those two conditions is unstable. The results have shown that it is feasible to use the FEM of strength coefficient reduction in the above profile and this method has advantages over others.
