Simulation results indicate that the increase of cohesion could improve the slope stability while Poisson’s ratio and tensile strength have barely no influence on the stability; the effects of internal friction angle on slope stability obtained from the two methods are different; in addition, the geometric parameters of rock-soil body in faults have a stronger impact on the failure modes and stability of rock slope than mechanical parameters do. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20160974
