摘      要：正Seismic stability of rock slopes is numerically investigated using the numerical manifold method（NMM）.A parallelepiped block resting on an inclined plane as shown in Figure 1,which has been considered as a first approximation of the rock slope stability conditions,is employed in this study to find out the fundamentals of seismic instabilities of rock slopes and to validate the NMM for seismic instability analysis of rock slopes.
