Abstract: Various factors, such as, geological, climate environmental, topographical and design and construction conditions, which might affecting the stability of a high cut slope are analyzed in this paper. The weight of these factors in the cut slope stability are assigned and the risk assessment approach, model and criteria are established based on the global risk evaluation system. This system was applied to the stability assessment of a high cut slope and the results are satisfactory.
