In order to quantify the effects of different protective measures on the stability of jointed rock slopes, the Particle Flow Code in two-dimensions (PFC2D), strength reduction method and failure criterion characterized by a coherent fracture plane were used to reveal the failure characteristics of jointed rock slope when the parameters of contact model have been reduced until the critical rock failure state had occurred. Then the safety factor and microcrack evolution as well as energy dissipation law of jointed slopes under three working conditions including slope-cutting, anchor cable reinforcement and without any protective measures were comprehensively researched. Research shows that when the mechanical parameters have been reduced until the critical rock failure state has occurred, the main failure mode of jointed rock slope is tensile-sliding failure. The slope-cutting measure can partially improve the slope stability, and the anchor cables installed at a zone where is below the joint surface and close to the the intersection of the steeply inclined fracture and the gentle slip surface can significantly improve the slope stability. During the adjustment process to the stable state, the number of microcracks and dissipated energy generated in anchor cable-reinforced slopes are sequentially less than those in slope-cutting slopes and slopes without any protective measures. The research results can provide a reference for the slope engineering in similar open-pit mines.
