Evaluation of factor of safety for vegetated and barren soil slopes with limit equilibrium computations     

《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2013,8(4):254-273

Limit equilibrium method (LEM) is the most conventional and popular technique in slope stability analysis. Location of the unique failure surface and the determination of corresponding critical factor of safety (critical-FOS) of the soil slope requires a lot of trial and research. With this amount of trial and research results, we evaluate the field of factor of safety (FOS-field), which represents the critical-FOS at a point within the domain of all possible failure surfaces. Such a field can be very important for the precise judgment of the most critical-FOS of the slope and its perturbation. This paper also presents the evaluation of the FOS-field of vegetated slopes, thus providing an analytical way to examine the effect of vegetation on the soil slope stability. We evaluated the stability of vegetated and barren soil slopes under dry and fully saturated conditions. With dry and fully saturated conditions, the behaviour of slopes in most favourable and worst conditions can be simulated. Evaluation of FOS-field for various slope geometries and conditions show that the more unstable the slope becomes, the more difficult it will be to pinpoint the location of the critical failure surface with the unique least FOS. We verified the LEM codes with finite element method (FEM) and spectral element method (SEM) codes considering a sample problem from Smith and Griffiths’ book (Smith and Griffiths 2003).  相似文献   

Stability of eccentrically loaded footings on slopes     

《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2013,8(2):107-111

The stability of eccentrically loaded strip footings on slopes was investigated using the method of finite element analysis based on the theory of elasto-plasticity. The analysis was done for two different soils involving three levels of slope angle, six footing locations, and two levels of load eccentricity plus central vertical loading. The strip footing analysed was a 3-ft (0.9 m) wide reinforced concrete footing embedded to a depth of 3 ft (0.9 m). The analysis focused on footing settlement, plastic yielding of soil, and ultimate bearing capacity. The results of analysis show that the influence of load eccentricity on footing pressure vs. footing centre settlement is negligibly small. However, the progressive soil yielding and ultimate bearing capacity are greatly affected by load eccentricity. Furthermore, the effect of load eccentricity differs considerably with the load location relative to the footing centre and slope crest. The ultimate bearing capacity for the eccentric load located on the slope side is significantly greater than that for the load located on the other side of the footing centre. For a 2(H): 1(V) slope in silty clay, the effect of slope on footing stability decreases with increasing footing location from slope crest as would be expected, and diminishes when the footing is located from the crest at about 5-times the footing width.  相似文献   

Application of Manifold Method (MM) to the stability problems for cut slopes along the national roads     

《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2013,8(1):39-56

Recently one of the most challenging problems for civil engineers is how to construct new structures/infrastructures adjacent pre-existing ones and how to evaluate the effect of the new construction on the pre-existing structures (so-called neighbouring construction). The Manifold Method (MM) is one of the discontinuum based numerical approaches to simulate the mechanical behaviour of fractured rock masses including large deformation/displacement along fractures as well as stress/strain conditions of the rock blocks/masses. In this study, the MM was used to investigate the stability of the cut slope in the highly fractured rock masses along one of the national roads in Japan, focusing on the effects of new construction on the pre-existing structures/infrastructures. The effect of reinforcement during the construction such as rock bolts, anchors, etc. was also investigated and evaluated quantitatively by numerical simulations using MM.  相似文献

选择桂林丫吉试验场溶洞—硝岩洞及其上方的汇水坡面作为研究区,通过在不同降雨条件下,对坡面径流和硝盐洞中流水水文动态进行监测并做对比分析研究。结果表明:（1）降雨强度、降雨持续时间和各含水系统前期含水情况决定了岩溶石山区坡面地表和包气带水文动态变化过程;（2）在不同降雨条件下,地表坡面流和经过上部包气带调蓄过的硝盐洞水文动态都表现为暴涨暴落,坡面径流表现的更为明显,一般坡面径流的整个水文过程持续几个小时到十几个小时,而硝盐洞中流水水文过程持续13d;（3）一般大到暴雨条件下,坡面流最大流量大于硝盐洞,但由于持续时间短,其一场降雨后所获得的水量远不如下渗到包气带—硝盐洞中滴水水量。  相似文献

北部湾盆地涠洲11区流一段发育缓坡型和陡坡型两种类型的扇三角洲。结合岩电震资料,分析了这两类扇三角洲的异同,并探讨了造成这两类扇三角洲沉积特征异同的主控因素。其中陡坡型扇三角洲主要分布于研究区北部陡坡带的流一段中亚段,粒度较粗,以重力流成因的厚层砂砾岩体为主,沉积厚度大,平面展布小;而缓坡型扇三角洲主要分布于研究区南部的涠西南低凸起缓坡带附近的流一段下亚段,粒度相对偏细,牵引流与重力流沉积构造均较发育,沉积厚度相对较小,平面延伸范围广。两类扇三角洲形成与分布特征的不同主要受控于构造格局、古地形的差异以及基准面变化等。  相似文献

开采形成的矿山岩质高陡边坡,造成山体缺损、水土流失、生态破坏,容易产生边坡失稳、崩塌滑落等地质灾害,急需进行生态修复治理。本文以北京市西郊千灵山生态修复岩质高陡边坡为例,根据地质雷达实测剖面分析及室内试验得到的岩体内部结构信息和岩石力学参数,建立了生态边坡的地质力学模型,并用有限元强度折减法对千灵山岩质高陡边坡生态修复前后的稳定性进行了模拟计算。结果表明,非降雨、降雨（饱水）条件下自然岩石边坡和生态修复后的边坡其安全系数分别为17、12.5、5、2;边坡变形以坡脚和生态带区域的中下部位最大,边坡潜在滑动面主要沿坡脚45＆#176;方向上扩展。因此,岩石边坡坡脚和生态带区域的中下部位应是重点加固区,需通过锚杆加固和有效排水对之进行处理。  相似文献

滑坡的灾害特征与成因机制是滑坡分析的一个重要方面。为充分了解北山寺斜坡区对人民生命财产与斜坡区内文物古迹造成的威胁,本文以北山寺斜坡区为例,以现场调查及工程地质勘察的方法对滑坡进行分析。结果表明,斜坡区主要发育有老滑坡及其上的林场场部Ⅰ号新滑坡、三清殿Ⅱ号新滑坡和深层潜在滑坡。查明了各个滑坡的形态、长度、宽度与厚度等信息。老滑坡、林场场部Ⅰ号新滑坡、三清殿Ⅱ号新滑坡属浅层滑坡,崩坡积物与下覆基岩接触面间的潜在蠕滑面是控制该浅层滑坡滑动的主要因素之一。总结出深层潜在滑坡的发展模式,即卸荷回弹、前缘沿潜在弱面滑移--后缘拉裂变形--压致拉裂扩展--深层潜在滑移面形成与贯通。  相似文献
