Abstract: This paper presents the slope stability analysis results of a potentially instable slopes in Anhua County. The three dimensional finite analysis model was established throughout the geotechnical investigation results and site specific topographies. The MohrCoulomb failure criteria and the strength reduction method were used in the analytical model. The numerical results are compared with the results from the limit equilibrium method and it is concluded that the strength reduction can be used in FLAC3D analysis.
