The dry-wet cycle has a significant effect on the shear strength of the granite residual soil, which will affect the stability of the slope. A numerical model of the road cutting slope considering the strength change of the granite residual soil under conditions of dry-wet cycle was established. The numerical model was compared with the previous research results to obtain a good agreement, indicating the validity of the model established. Then several influence factors such as the number of cycles, initial cohesion, friction angle, initial slope angle, excavation slope angle and other factors are considered, and the parameter analysis of the stability development of the road cutting slope with the strength changes of the granite residual soil under dry and wet cycling conditions is considered. The research results show that the dry-wet cycle has a great impact on the stability of the road cutting slope of granite residual soil, which reduces the slope stability by about 10-30%. The conclusions of this paper provide a certain theoretical guidance for the design and application of the roadside slope engineering of granite residual soil.
