Abstract

Lots of slope engineering problems take place for expansive soils. The progress and the characteristic of the expansive soils landslide are introduced and analyzed in the paper. The safety factor analysis of an expansive soils slope in Zhenjiang is also given considering the real basic physical property of the slope. Calculated with the Sweden Slice Method, considering that there are crannies in the slope, the safety factor is close to the real result. Other similar engineering can consult the result from contrasting the analysis result with the data from the field.
