The strength reduction method is an essential approach for calculating the slope safety factor, with its computation reliant on the criterion for slope instability during the process of strength reduction. Among the commonly employed criteria for slope instability, displacement mutation stands out; however, its determination remains relatively subjective at present. The maximum slope displacement was considered as a function of the strength reduction factor based on the strength reduction method. The standard deviations of the maximum slope displacements for different strength reduction factors were calculated. Consequently, a method for determining the slope safety factor within the strength reduction method, based on the standard deviations of the maximum slope displacements, was proposed. The method was validated through a typical case study and subsequently applied to a practical engineering project. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can objectively identify the occurrence of slope displacement mutation during the strength reduction process and effectively ascertain the slope safety factor. The proposed method is especially applicable for practical slope engineering projects requiring quantitative comparison of safety factors for different cases.
