Abstract: The numerical limit analysis method has the advantages of both numerical analysis and traditional limit analysis. In recent years, domestic scholars have vigorously developed the numerical limit analysis method, in the basic theory, calculation accuracy, engineering application scope has made significant progress. This paper introduces the development of numerical limit analysis method and its application in slope engineering.
