After the road excavation of the hard and soft interlayered bedding slope in the mountainous region’s valley area, the bedding slope often results in a catastrophic phenomenon, especially in the project’s construction and operation where existed severe safety hazards. A geomechanical two-component model consisting of the slider and the underlying layer is proposed to analyze the rock block instability under the fissure water pressure, the shear deformation, and the compression deformation. The slider’s complex stress field is derived by using elastic mechanics. The incremental energy equilibrium Equation is established based on the energy balance theory, and the generalized sliding force relative function of the slider and the generalized shear force relative function of the underlying soft rock are obtained. The deformation energy accumulation, transfer, and energy dissipation characteristics are analyzed. Put a rock slide in the bedding rock cutting slope happened at Jiaojiatan, Pengshui County, Chongqing municipality, China as a case. Results indicate that considering both the compression deformation and the shear deformation of the slider, the kinetic energy, the rapid launch speed of the projectile, the average projectile acceleration, and the failure stroke increase about 15.7 times, 4.0 times, 1.8 times, and 8.9 times respectively than that of only considering the shear deformation, and the dynamic disaster intensity is more severe and worthy of attention. The results that ignored the fissure water pressure and the compressive deformation energy coincide with the existing literature, which verifies the reasonable applied method in this paper. Considering the slider’s different displacements and the height-length ratios, when the energy ratio function that represents the ratio of the incremental compression energy to the incremental shear energy concludes that when the range of the height-length ratio is between 0 to 0.95(flat and narrow sliders), the compression energy’s contribution to the system’s elastic energy should be taken into consideration. The advantage of the energy balance method applied in the stability analysis of the bedding rock slope is that the potential unstable rock block’s status can be predicted dynamically according to the variation of the underlying soft rock’s deformation and that the elastic impact dynamic parameters can also be obtained compared with other instability analysis approach.
