It is very important to control the stability of upward-slope during excavation. In this paper, finite element numerical simulation software is used to analyze the distribution of plastic zone and the increment of horizontal and vertical displacement of upward-slope during excavation, so as to evaluate the stability of slope during excavation. The results show that as the plastic zone area of the upward-slope continues to expand, the plastic zone area reaches the maximum after the completion of the upward-slope excavation, and the upper and lower parts of the slope tend to be transfixed from the high terrain to the low terrain plastic zone. After the completion of the upward-slope excavation, a new face is formed, and a large displacement is generated from the upward-slope to the direction of the face. The maximum displacement is mainly concentrated in the upper left of the upward-slope, and a large uplift occurs at the bottom of the slope platform. The maximum horizontal displacement of the left slope is mainly concentrated near the second and third grade slopes, and the maximum horizontal displacement is about 4cm. The maximum horizontal displacement of the right slope is mainly concentrated at the first grade slope, namely the foot of the slope, and the maximum horizontal displacement is about 4cm.
