In the global warming trend, the permafrost area is decreasing. And the change of temperature seriously affects the safety and stability on Open-pit slope under the alternation of freezing and thawing. Based on FLAC(3D), the simplified algorithm of THM coupling with phase change is developed and upgraded again. The change law of failure area in one time freezing and thawing and various stability influence factors of the permafrost slope were discussed by yielding approach index. The results show that the frozen slope is local failure, from April to July is danger every year, and that the freezing temperature increment and the height of slope are still the main influence factors and that the water content, the times of freeze-thaw cycles and the temperature increment of surrounding boundary are severely affect the stability of the slope. And the research can be a significance reference for further understanding the slope stability under freeze-thaw cycles.
