Abstract The numerical format in FLAC3D of spatially mobilized plane(SMP) criterion was derived and the plasticity factor λs is obtained by solving a cubic equation. Then the SMP criterion is imported into FLAC3D on the secondary development platform provided by the software using a dll document developed by C++. The feasibility of the dll document was certified by the comparison between numerical and analytical results of true triaxial numerical test,thick-walled cylinder problem and slope stability analysis. Slope stability analysis indicates that the slope failure processes are similar calculated by M-C and SMP criterion. The factor of safety calculated by SMP criterion is bigger than M-C and the plastic zone and displacement calculated by SMP is smaller than M-C using the same reduction factor because SMP criterion can consider the influence of intermediate principal stress on the yield surface.
