The method of slope stability analysis was divided into deterministic and nondeterministic analysis method.The deterministic analysis method was divided into limit equilibrium method and numerical method,which of the former was some typical representative with Sweden Arc method and simplified Bishop method;which of the latter was some typical representative with finite element method and finite difference method.The nondeterministic analysis method was some typical representative with reliability method,fuzzy comprehensive judgment method,grey system method,artificial intelligence method.The principle,advantages and disadvantages and applicability of each method were described in detail,and some methods were compared and analyzed.Finally,the development direction of the stability evaluation of the rock and soil slope system was proposed.
