Abstract
Using traditional single and double reductions about strength (i.e. initial friction angle and cohesive force), the safety factors 1.374 and 1.370 are derived, respectively. The results mean that the double reduction is more reasonable and the traditional single reduction method excessively evaluates the stability of the side slope. In the sequel, the maximum load on the top of the side slope is discussed.
