Abstract: A slip-line field theory of transversely isotropic body is proposed in the presentpaper in order to deal with problems in geology and geotechniques.The Goldenblat-Kopnov failure criterion is employed.The parameters in it are treated as functions of tempperature It is applicable to transverse isotropic media in non-uniform temperaturefield.The basic equtions of plastic deformation are developed while the associated ru-les of flow are derived.By means of characteristic line theory,slip-line slope formulasand laws of variation of stress and velocity along slip lines are obtained,The indenta-tion on semi-infinite media is calculated.The theory developed in this paper may be simplified into many classical theories such as Mises,Hill,and Coulomb ones,This complicated theory may be applied to geotechniques,geological structures,petroleumindustry,mining engineering,etc.
