Abstract: To enhance slope stability sensitivity analysis, this study applies uniform design methodology, which significantly reduces required tests by ensuring even distribution of test points within the experimental range. Using a homogeneous soil slope as a case study, sensitivity analysis was conducted on five parameters: unit weight, internal friction angle, cohesion, slope angle, and seismic acceleration. Results indicate that cohesion and slope angle are the most sensitive factors in typical homogeneous soil slopes or loose rock-soil slopes. In regions with seismic fortification intensity below 7 degrees, soil unit weight and seismic acceleration are considered non-sensitive factors.
