Weak layers have a significant effect on the stability of slopes. The stability of slopes is usually calculated by the limit equilibrium method in current designs, in which multiple equilibrium equations need to be established and solved. Compared with the limit equilibrium method, the limit analysis method is more rigorous, and requires only one energy equation to be solved. In order to analyze the stability of slopes with weak interlayers, a stability calculation model was established by the limit analysis method, and then the accuracy of the solution was verified by the limit equilibrium method. Finally, the effects of load, weak layer shape, and weak layer strength on stability were analyzed. The results show that the slope safety factor decreases with an increase in the load intensity. When the acceleration amplification factor increases from 1.0 to 1.6 the safety factor decreases from 1.20 to 0.89. With a higher frequency of the external load, the slope is easier to be damaged in advance. Besides, the shape of the weak layer has a significant effect on the slope safety factor, especially when it is close to the top and surface of the slope. The safety factor decreases approximately linearly with the decrease of the friction angle and cohesion of weak layers. When the cohesion strength decreases from 9 kPa to 5 kPa, the safety factor decreases by about 30%.
