Comparison of critical state plastic zones of Longquan Reservoir Dam using three double strength reduction methods: (a) traditional strength reduction method (Fc = Fφ = 1.8); (b) the double strength reduction method 1 (Fc = 1.96, Fφ = 1.4); (c) the double strength reduction method 2 (Fφ = 1.4); (d) the double strength reduction method 3 (global zone Fc = 1.69, Fφ = 1.3, shear zone Fφ = 1.1).
