Abstract:A complete description of slope failure should not only be limited to the failure initiation,but also include the development of slope failure and the ?nal con?guration of the slope. This paper introduces a new framework of material point method(MPM) proposed by the authors,including implicit MPM,random MPM and coupled MPM. A series of simple slope simulations under different scenarios are shown,demonstrating the ability of the proposed methods in simulating the observed failure modes and corresponding failure mechanisms,including progressive,retrogressive and super?cial failures due to the rainfall infiltrations,etc. The MPM is shown to be a reliable tool in capturing the large deformations of slopes,including the initial failure and the induced secondary failures,thereby,providing a solid basis for the risk analysis of the slope failures.
