  • Abstract
Relevant national codes usually require the transmitting coefficient method to be employed for the stability analysis of slope reinforcement, in which sliding mass is usually divided into a number of vertical slices.For some support technologies, such as rock bolting and anchor cable, the intersections between the slices and the anchor bar, and the forces mobilized in the reinforcements are different from the assumptions in this method.Thus the transmitting coefficient method confronts some difficulties during practical applications, which would influence the project quality of reinforcements.A new Horizontal Slice Method was proposed based on the overseas relevant literatures to overcome these difficulties in the stability analysis of rock bolting and anchor cable slopes.
