Purpose
This paper aims to analyze the influence of rotated anisotropy on the stability of slope, the random finite element method is used in this study.
Design/methodology/approach
The random field is generated by the discrete cosine transform (DCT) method, which can generate random field with different rotated angles conveniently.
Findings
Two idealized slopes are analyzed; it is observed that the rotated angle significantly affects the slope failure risk. The two examples support the conclusion that when the orientation of the layers is nearly perpendicular to the slip surface, the slope is in a relative stable condition. The results of heterogeneous slope with two clay layers demonstrate that the rotated angle of lower layer mainly controls the failure mechanism of the slope, and the rotated angle of upper layer exhibits a significant influence on the probability of slope failure.
Originality/value
The method for rotated anisotropy random field generation based on the DCT has a simple expression with few parameters and is convenient for implementation and practical application. The proposed method and the results obtained are useful for analyzing the stability of the heterogeneous slopes in engineering projects.

发现
分析了两个理想化的斜率;观察到旋转角度显着影响边坡破坏风险。这两个例子支持了当层的方向几乎垂直于滑动面时,坡度处于相对稳定状态的结论。两层黏土非均质边坡结果表明,下层旋转角度主要控制边坡破坏机制,上层旋转角度对边坡破坏概率有显着影响。
