The study investigates the possibility to incorporate fracture intensity and block geometry as spatially continuous parameters in GIS-based systems. For this purpose, a deterministic method has been implemented to estimate block size (Bloc3D) and joint frequency (COLTOP). In addition to measuring the block size, the Bloc3D Method provides a 3D representation of the shape of individual blocks. These two methods were applied using field measurements (joint set orientation and spacing) performed over a large field area, in the Swiss Alps. This area is characterized by a complex geology, a number of different rock masses and varying degrees of metamorphism. The spatial variability of the parameters was evaluated with regard to lithology and major faults. A model incorporating these measurements and observations into a GIS system to assess the risk associated with rock falls is proposed. The analysis concludes with a discussion on the feasibility of such an application in regularly and irregularly jointed rock masses, with persistent and impersistent discontinuities. 相似文献

高速公路开挖形成越来越多的工程边坡。缓倾外层状结构边坡作为一种典型的岩质边坡,一般情况下整体稳定性较好,但在特定的结构面组合状况下,开挖后也可能产生整体变形破坏。本文以软弱结构面和长大裂隙发育的公路工程边坡为例,通过岩体结构及边坡一定范围内已有边坡破坏现象的调查研究,采用工程地质类比和三维离散元法综合分析边坡变形破坏模式,并针对变形破坏模式的特点,提出支护对策。研究结果表明,结构面贯通坡体形成切割块体的后缘和侧缘边界时,缓倾外层状结构边坡可沿层面产生滑移-拉裂变形,若滑面与临空面具有一定夹角,边坡的变形可表现为旋转式滑移-拉裂;结构面组合控制的缓倾外层状结构岩质边坡稳定性受坡体中下部的关键块体控制,一旦关键块体失稳,将引起上部块体的连锁失稳,此类边坡变形控制的重点是对关键块体分布区域进行强支护;支护工程实施后的变形监测结果表明,基于变形破坏模式分析的边坡支护方案保证了边坡施工和运营过程中的安全。 相似文献

Block theory has been widely applied to stability analysis of rock engineering due to its clear concept and elegant geometrical theory. For a general block with multiple discontinuity planes, it is assumed that contact is only maintained on a single plane (single-plane sliding) or two intersecting planes (double-plane sliding) in block theory analysis. Since the normal forces and shear resistances acting on the other discontinuity planes are omitted, it can cause unreasonable estimations of block failure modes and incorrect calculation of factors of safety. In this study, a new method is presented that permits to consider the contribution of the normal forces and shear resistances acting on each discontinuity plane to the block stability. The proposed method meets all of the force-equilibrium and moment-equilibrium conditions and provides a rigorous solution for stability of general blocks with any number of faces and any shape. Some typical polyhedral blocks in rock slopes are analyzed using block theory and the proposed method. The results indicate that the traditional block theory may give a misleading conclusion for the predictions of stability and sliding direction of rock blocks when contact occurs on more than two discontinuity planes. 相似文献

A Method to Estimate In Situ Block Size Distribution 总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1
This paper presents a new technique for estimating the in situ block size distribution in a jointed rock mass. The technique
is based on Monte Carlo simulations using more realistic fracture geometry as its input compared to other block size estimation
methods described in the literature. This geometry represents fractures as either polygons or triangulated surfaces and therefore
models persistence and truncation of fractures accurately. Persistence has been shown to be critically important for the accurate
prediction of block size and shape. We show that for rock masses with relatively small discontinuities, the results of our
predictions differ markedly from previous methods which over-predict fragmentation. 相似文献

由侏罗系千佛岩组砂岩、泥岩及炭质页岩组成的软硬相间的互层边坡,受不同岩层工程特性的影响,开挖引起不同部位岩体产生拉裂、松弛及沿软弱结构面的蠕滑等变形。为分析地层岩性对边坡稳定性的影响,对侏罗系千佛岩组地层进行工程地质岩组划分,分为薄层泥岩与中薄层砂岩互层岩组、巨厚层砂岩夹中厚层砂岩和薄层泥岩岩组。在此基础上,通过对边坡岩体结构的详细研究,确定了控制边坡稳定性的结构面为层间软弱夹层,进而对边坡表层碎裂岩体、结构面组合形成的块体稳定性进行分析,结果表明,边坡浅层岩体整体稳定性差,局部处于极限平衡状态,深部岩体稳定性相对较好,边坡稳定性的岩体结构分析结果与边坡变形状况吻合。 相似文献

岩体中普遍存在着断层﹑节理和裂隙等结构面,这些结构面的存在和发展对岩体的整体强度﹑变形及稳定性有极大的影响。因此,研究岩体中原生结构面的萌生﹑发展以及贯通演化过程对评估岩体工程安全性和可靠性具有非常重要的理论与现实意义。扩展有限元法（XFEM）作为一种求解不连续问题的有效数值方法,模拟裂隙时独立于网格,因此,在模拟岩体裂隙扩展﹑水力劈裂等方面具有独特优势。针对扩展有限元法的基本理论及其在岩体裂隙扩展模拟中的应用展开了研究,建立了扩展有限元法求解岩体裂隙摩擦接触、岩体裂隙破坏等问题的数值模型,并将计算模型应用于岩质边坡稳定性分析和重力坝坝基断裂破坏等工程问题。 相似文献

A multidisciplinary approach for rock spreading and block sliding investigation in the north-western coast of Malta 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Landslides are widespread along the north-western coast of the Island of Malta and are strictly linked to the structural setting. Exemplary cases of rock spreading and block sliding phenomena characterise this stretch of coast. They are favoured by the overposition of two different geological units widely outcropping there, the Blue Clay Formation and the Upper Coralline Limestone Formation. The latter forms a wide plateau, bordered by vertical cliffs. At the foot of the cliffs, clayey terrains crop out and develop gentle slopes covered by large blocks detached and moved by rock spreading and block sliding phenomena. These mass movements are favoured by the fragile behaviour of limestones, which cap clays, otherwise characterised by visco-plastic properties. In order to investigate the kinematics and the evolution of these types of coastal landslides, a multidisciplinary and multitechnical approach was applied on a study site, named Il-Prajjet, which provides a spectacular case of rock spreading evolving into block sliding. This paper illustrates the results achieved by means of different engineering geological and geophysical techniques allied with traditional detailed geomorphological survey and mapping. In particular, the surface displacements of the landslides were determined using long-term GPS observations, acquired approximately every 6 months, over a 4.5-year period. A network of GPS benchmarks were distributed on the edge of a limestone plateau affected by rock spreading and on a series of displaced blocks making up a large block slide, finally enabling the definition of the state of activity and the rates of movement to be performed. In addition, the results deriving from two continuous fissurimeters more recently installed at the edge of two persistent joints over the block sliding area are outlined, with reference to the correlation between variations of crack apertures and precipitation input. In order to identify main structural discontinuities and to reconstruct variability of underground surface contact between clays and overlying limestones, Resistivity Tomography profiles and GPR investigations were carried out. Finally, the results obtained by combining the outputs of geophysical surveys and different field monitoring activities can be considered a first step on which numerical models can be developed and validated, in order to assess landslide hazard and risk of this stretch of Maltese coastline. 相似文献

The granitic rock mass that exists in the shiplock region of the Three Gorges dam site contains a number of major discontinuities and about four sets of minor discontinuities. One hundred and thirty three major discontinuities have been mapped around the shiplock covering an area of 1740×600 m. These major discontinuities were used to perform rock slope kinematic and block theory analyses. Kinematic analyses were performed under the following two cases: (1) assuming all the mapped discontinuities cross the shiplock; (2) using only discontinuities that actually intersect the shiplock. Under case (1) and case (2) the shiplock faces in the proposed permanent shiplock region in fresh rock were found to be stable up to a cut slope of about 45° and 58°, respectively. Block theory was applied to identify different block types that exist on the shiplock faces and to estimate the maximum safe slope angles on the shiplock faces. The orientations of the major discontinuities that actually intersect the shiplocks were considered in this analysis. The total length of the shiplock (1750 m) was divided into 50 m segments. From the stereo-plots, the key blocks (Type I) and/or potential key blocks (Type II) were found for only five segments of the shiplock slopes. It was found that the dip of the cut slope should be less than about 60° to avoid creation of a key block on the proposed shiplock slopes. However, it is important to keep in mind that these conclusions are based on the kinematic analyses performed using only the major discontinuities. Further kinematic as well as kinetic analyses are recommended incorporating minor discontinuities, water forces, earthquake forces etc. before making the final conclusions about the maximum safe slope angle for the shiplock region. 相似文献

Evaluating Kinematic Controls on Planar Translational Slope Failure Mechanisms Using Three-Dimensional Distinct Element Modelling 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This paper investigates the importance of kinematic release mechanisms on planar translational slope failure using three-dimensional distinct element codes. The importance of the dip and dip direction of the rear, basal and lateral release surfaces and their influence on failure mechanism, dilation, and the development of step-path failures is illustrated. The three-dimensional block shape and volume of the unstable rock masses simulated with the different discontinuity set geometries are characterized. Two assumed three-dimensional slope models are investigated in order to assess the importance of varying kinematic confinement/release mechanisms. These two assumed boundary conditions are shown to be critical in the development of asymmetrical rock mass deformation patterns. Scale effects due to the block size and discontinuity persistence are shown to control the calculated displacement and failure mechanisms. The numerical modelling results are also demonstrated to be sensitive to the assumed normal and shear stiffness of the discontinuities. The influence of the factors investigated on the failure of a single rock block versus a rock mass are compared and discussed. 相似文献

土石混合体在剪切过程中存在剪应力跌落的现象,基于该现象,本文采用大型直剪试验的方式,考虑不同含石量(0%、30%、50%、70%)、上覆垂直压力(50,200,300,400 kPa)、块石尺寸(9.5～19.0 mm、19.0～31.5 mm、31.5～53.0 mm) 3个主要控制因素,进行室内剪切变形试验,研究直剪过程中发生的剪应力跌落现象。同时,通过在试样内部钻孔、埋置细铝丝与干灰的方法获取剪切带变形厚度,结合其大小理解剪应力的脆性跌落特征和剪切带块石变形特征。基于试验分析表明,具备骨架结构且所含块石尺寸大于剪切带厚度的土石混合体试样在高垂直应力下的剪切过程中易出现块石应力集中,形成锁固体块石,该类块石往往控制着试样一定时空下的整体剪切强度,其受剪切作用翻滚、滑移甚至咬合棱角破碎是导致剪应力瞬间大幅度跌落的直接原因。高含石量、大尺寸块石、高垂直应力是形成块石应力锁固体的必要条件。低含石量状态(<50%),剪切带块石多顺剪切方向翻滚,越靠近剪切面边缘,变形越明显,块石相对空间位置变化较小。高含石量状态(>70%),剪切带块石可见相互滑移、攀爬,块石相对空间位置变化明显。块石尺寸小于剪切带厚度时,剪应力多呈现波动特征,而块石尺寸接近剪切带厚度时,剪应力波动加剧,出现明显的应力跌落,对应垂直位移出现突变。满足含石量高于70%、块石尺寸大于剪切带厚度的试样在相对较大的上覆垂直应力作用下易形成块石应力锁固体。 相似文献

Practical visualization of rock structure 总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12
Roland Pusch 《Engineering Geology》1998,49(3-4):231-236
The conventionally applied method for visualizing the structure of a rock mass is limited to plotting the orientation of individual discontinuities by using the Schmidt stereographic net. Their spacing is not illustrated and other structural features, such as undulation and twisting, cannot be interpreted from such sterographic views. A new mode of visual presentation of rock structural features of one or several different types in rock volumes of any size that makes all this possible is proposed in the present report. The primary purpose is to quantify, for all elements of a rock mass where the structure has been evaluated by borehole investigations or mapping in the course of underground excavation, the orientation and average spacing of defined discontinuities like hydraulically and mechanically active fractures. These local structural patterns, which are plotted on three of the six faces of cubical boxes with defined edge length and with one edge oriented N−S can be combined by applying the mathematical tool for connecting faces with which certain visualization codes like Alias Sketch are equipped. This combines different local rock structures to form regional patterns that can reveal undulation and twisting and important variations in spacing of major discrete discontinuities. Visualization can be given in true perspective or orthographic form and larger discontinuities that have been identified in the field, such as fracture zones, can be introduced in the model for correlation with smaller features. Furthermore, the stress situation at all sites where rock stress measurements have been made can be visualized in the model in the form of principal planes. The proposed models can be visualized from any “camera angle” and also shown in Quick Time VR form, i.e. as being slowly rotated around any predetermined axis. This facilitates definition and selection of the rock structure, local or regional, for numerical calculations. 相似文献

Block detection is one of the important steps in all discontinuous methods of analysis such as discontinuous deformation analysis and discrete element method. It is in fact a pre‐processing step for these methods. This paper describes a new approach to the problem of geometrically defining polyhedral rock blocks created by the intersection of planar discontinuities in a rock mass. An approach is developed based on the concept of using matrices with integer elements that mostly represent vertices, edges, or face numbers and their connections. Using square matrices with integer elements and performing edge/face regularization reduce the size of the matrices because of elimination of unnecessary faces, edges, and vertices; speed and accuracy of block tracing operation will be increased. This algorithm is able to trace and identify all kinds of blocks including convex and concave blocks formed by limited or unlimited fractures. The simplicity of the procedure makes it very attractive. The algorithm was programmed in C#.Net by over 8100 code lines; several examples are presented to show application of the algorithm in different situations.

Summary Discontinuities or joints in the rock mass have various shapes and sizes. Along with the joint orientation and spacing, the
joint persistence, or the relative size of the joint, is one of the most important factors in determining the block sizes
of jointed rock masses. Although the importance of joint persistence on the overall rock mass strength has long been identified,
the impact of persistence on rock strength is in most current rock mass classification systems underrepresented. If joints
are assumed to be persistent, as is the case in most designs, the sizes of the rock blocks tend to be underestimated. This
can lead to more removable blocks than actually exist in-situ. In addition, a poor understanding of the rock bridge strength
may lead to lower rock mass strengths, and consequently, to excessive expenditure on rock support.
In this study, we suggest and verify a method for the determination of the block sizes considering joint persistence. The
idea emerges from a quantitative approach to apply the GSI system for rock mass classification, in which the accurate block
size is required. There is a need to statistically analyze how the distribution of rock bridges according to the combination
of joint orientation, spacing, and persistence will affect the actual size of each individual block. For this purpose, we
generate various combinations of joints with different geometric conditions by the orthogonal arrays using the distinct element
analysis tools of UDEC and 3DEC. Equivalent block sizes (areas in 2D and volumes in 3D) and their distributions are obtained
from the numerical simulation. Correlation analysis is then performed to relate the block sizes predicted by the empirical
equation to those obtained from the numerical model simulation. The results support the concept of equivalent block size proposed
by Cai et al. (2004, Int. J. Rock Mech. Min. Sci., 41(1), 3–19). 相似文献

深部岩体具有块状层次结构,深部动载造成岩块发生相互间的振动脱离产生低摩擦效应,从而极易诱发原先处于平衡状态的岩体的动力变形破坏。在前人研究基础上,将块系岩体振动简化为等效质量-黏弹性模型,引入岩石摩擦滑移速率弱化模式,最终得到块系岩体滑移失稳计算模型。通过计算分析块系岩体自身特性及外荷载特性对岩块间低摩擦效应的影响。理论计算表明：水平静力及外扰动保持不变,增大岩块间弹性系数或者减小黏性系数,更容易引发岩体低摩擦滑移。随着冲击扰动、水平拉力幅值的增加,岩块的水平残余位移量值增加,当它们幅值超过一临界值时,岩块发生自持续滑移失稳运动。冲击扰动诱发岩块间不可逆位移、动力滑移失稳的临界能量与剪切力水平密切相关,在较大的剪切内力条件下,极其微弱的动力扰动即可诱发较大的岩块间不可逆位移甚至岩块的动力滑移失稳,随着剪切内力的减小,诱发岩块滑移失稳的能量阈值不断增大,当剪切内力低于岩块动摩擦强度时,单次冲击扰动只能诱发岩块间的不可逆位移。初步开展扰动诱发含初应力紫砂岩块体滑移试验,试验结果与理论计算基本符合,证明该模型的可行性。 相似文献

This paper presents a comparative study of two methods, Sarma's method and the discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA), for rock slope stability analysis. The comparison concerns the stability analysis of two classic rock slopes. The study shows that the DDA, which accounts for the block kinematics, provides a very different factor of safety as compared with Sarma's method. More realistic reaction forces around each rock block can be obtained by the DDA, including the thrust forces between rock blocks and the forces between the base and the blocks. The DDA's result shows two possible directions for the relative movement between two contiguous blocks at the initiation of slope failure. It also indicates that the limit equilibrium condition may not occur along the interfaces of rock blocks at the initiation of slope failure. The determination of realistic interaction forces around each block will be very important in rock slope stability analysis if nonlinear failure criteria are considered. 相似文献

Critical deformations in rock masses are frequently controlled by pre-existing discontinuities. In other cases, for example, Study of discontinuum models provides valuable physical spacing. Study of discontinuum models provides valuable physical insights into rock mass deformation behaviour that are not as apparent from continuum studies. Examples from both continuum analysis and discontinuum modelling by the distinct element methods are discussed. These examples include: in-situ deformation tests on columnar basalt.
