To study the dynamic response law of rock slopes with weak interlayer as well as provide the theoretical basis and technical guidance for the seismic reinforcement of slope, Flac 3D software is used to simulate the loading of seismic waves on rock slopes with and without weak interlayer, and the test results show that: weak interlayer has an obvious energy-absorbing effect, and the larger the amplitude of seismic wave is, the more obvious absorption and weakening effect is; the rocky change part of the slope body is more sensitive to seismic wave and is more likely to be damaged; the weak interlayer could constantly occur residual displacement under seismic wave action, which affects the stability of the slope. The results of related data simulation and analysis can provide a certain degree of theoretical basis for slope disaster prevention and control.
