Discontinuity-controlled rock slope instability analysis is a difficult problem in the field of geotechnical engineering. Many random discontinuities existing in rock masses will negatively influence rock slope stabilities. This study is aimed to determine the failure angle (apparent angle of the sliding surface in the direction of the cut face) of potentially unstable blocks in discontinuity-controlled rock slopes in Dalian, China. For this purpose, a detailed discontinuity survey was conducted in seven exploratory trenches and two outcrops. Possible failure modes of the slope were predicted. Thus, according to theories of kinematics and probability statistics, it is possible to determine the failure angle of potentially unstable blocks with a new method that combines the results of Bayesian inference, probabilistic kinematic analysis and stereographic projection. Bayes’ formula was used to estimate the scientific value of the slope failure angle. A computer program called KINEMATIC was written to perform probabilistic kinematic analysis. Stereographic projection was used to verify the values obtained from the methods. Through the methodology proposed in the study, the failure angle of each excavation slope could be well calculated. 相似文献

为在节省岩土工程勘察成本的前提下获得最有价值的现场试验数据,通常需要事先设计最优的工程勘察方案。提出了基于贝叶斯更新和信息量分析的边坡钻孔布置方案优化设计方法,其中采用贝叶斯方法更新空间变异土体参数统计特征和计算边坡后验失效概率,在此基础上进行场地信息量分析确定边坡最优钻孔位置和最佳钻孔间距。此外,为更加准确地表征土体参数的先验信息,发展了非平稳随机场模型以表征土体参数均值和标准差随埋深逐渐增加的特性。最后通过一个不排水饱和黏土边坡算例验证了提出方法的有效性。结果表明:所提出的方法能够在现场勘察试验之前仅利用现有的土体参数先验信息有效确定边坡最优钻孔位置和最佳钻孔间距。对了解边坡稳定性能所需的试验数据,并不是钻孔间距越小所获得的信息量越大。 相似文献

A major problem in the geotechnical approach to the stability of natural slopes is that there is usually little information on the in-situ geotechnical conditions, because of the extreme difficulty associated with ground investigations of steep slopes covered with vegetation. In this study, a lightweight dynamic cone penetration test (LWDCPT) has been introduced for a geotechnical survey of natural weathered granitic (Masado) slopes. Based on a series of direct shear tests, the internal friction angle and the apparent cohesion of reconstituted Masado soil were found to be fairly closely related to the void ratio and the degree of saturation in the soil. From the laboratory calibration tests, an equation was created to relate the dynamic cone resistance (qd) and the void ratio of reconstituted Masado under different degrees of saturation. Equations were developed to calculate the internal friction angle and the apparent cohesion from the value of qd for Masado at a known degree of saturation. LWDCPT and direct shear tests were carried out on undisturbed samples taken from a natural Masado slope. The estimated internal friction angle and the apparent cohesion calculated with the value of qd in the LWDCPTs agreed fairly well with those of tests on the undisturbed samples obtained in laboratory shear tests. 相似文献

Rock slope failure modes are either driven by structurally controlled mechanisms (planar, wedge, or toppling failure) or lean upon the highly jointed or weak rock mass (circular failure). Developing practical tools for preliminary slope design is a popular topic among geotechnical society. This study proposes a practical methodology to predict a safe overall slope angle for weak rock slopes of lignite mines. Rock mass rating (RMR) and slope mass rating (SMR) classification systems can be remarkably misleading for weak rocks. Fuzzy modification was proven to improve rock and slope quality predictions. In addition, structurally controlled failures can be estimated more precisely. Later, a popular slope performance chart of Bieniawski that is based on RMR was modified by the fuzzy approach, and the computer models of a weak rock mass failure in a Turkish lignite mine are presented. The modified methodology was proven to be better suited to the weak rock conditions. 相似文献

边坡等岩土工程的复杂性不仅体现在各类岩土参数的变异性,同时还在于其功能函数模式的隐含性、非解析性甚至未确知性,针对这一特性,以边坡极限平衡模式为范例研究出一种易于执行的边坡工程稳定可靠度直接求解算法。首先,调用边坡极限平衡模式获得岩土基本参数及其对应的边坡稳定系数的适量样本;然后,采用地质统计学中的Kriging各向异性关联映射方法,将边坡功能函数值表达为随机过程并通过样本确定该过程的控制变量,再结合蒙特卡洛模拟与主动学习方法,基于搜索规则调整训练样本,通过迭代循环确定随机过程表示的边坡功能函数所在的最可能失效区域;最后,调用随机过程函数在该区域通过简易的直接计算获得边坡失效概率。工程实例分析与计算结果表明该方法精度与蒙特卡洛海量模拟方法相当,但计算过程直接简易,计算代价低,具有较好的实用性。 相似文献

This paper presents the results of geotechnical investigations regarding the assessments of instability problems in the high
wall slope faces of the heavily jointed limestone rock mass in Marulan Quarry in NSW, Australia. Generally, instability of
hard rock slopes is mainly controlled by the presence of the structural geology and rock mass discontinuities through the
slope faces of the open pit excavations. Stability analysis of slope faces in an open pit mine requires the laboratory assessment
of the engineering properties of rock, shear strength of the discontinuities and also field investigations of the rock mass
discontinuities. To achieve the above objectives, a laboratory testing program was carried out on the intact rock samples
and also a three-dimensional scanline survey was carried out to consider the physical and mechanical properties of the rock
mass discontinuities. The results of the discontinuity data collected during joint surveys were interpreted with the application
of stereographic projection techniques for assessing the potential unstable zones and also for defining the modes of failure
in different parts of the limestone quarry.

Laboratory shear strength parameters of cohesive soils: variability and potential effects on slope stability 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The study quantified laboratory geotechnical variability by analyzing compacted alluvial fine-grained soils commonly used to backfill exhausted quarries in Central Italy. Repeating the test 4 times and combining the relevant results, 256 pairs of friction angle and cohesion values were obtained, with mean values of 27.0° ± 0.8° and 19.22 ± 4.08 kPa, respectively in the shear stress range 100–250 kPa. The influence of the variability of laboratory drained shear strength parameters on the long-term stability of artificial saturated slopes was examined, taking into account both deterministic and probabilistic approaches. In many cases, when the deterministic approach indicates stability, the probabilistic one indicates a certain probability of instability, even for the lowest slope height (5 m) and a slope angle higher than 15°. 相似文献

Several factors (including slope morphology, geological and structural settings, the mechanical properties of soils, weathering, hydrological and hydrogeological conditions and land use changes) can affect the origin and development of shallow landslides induced by rainfall. On 25 October 2011, an intense rainfall occurred in a wide area of Italy between eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany, triggering thousands of shallow landslides and causing widespread flooding. Floods and landslides caused severe damage to villages and infrastructure and caused 13 fatalities. This study was conducted to investigate the shallow landslides triggered by the rainfall in the Vernazza basin (Cinque Terre in eastern Liguria), where landslides and debris floods caused 3 fatalities and damage of approximately €130 million. The Vernazza basin, which is characterised by steep slopes, geological heterogeneity and unusual land use settings (approximately 50 % of the slopes have been terraced for centuries), was chosen as the focus of this study, conducted to assess the influences of several factors on landslide occurrence. Field surveys and engineering geological investigations, including laboratory and in situ tests, were carried out at various sites to assess the stratigraphic and geotechnical features of the soil slope covers. A basic engineering geological zoning was carried out, taking into account the bedrock lithology, the geotechnical properties of the soils and the land use settings. On the basis of a detailed inventory of the shallow landslides that occurred, the distribution of the landslides was analysed with respect to the slopes, the bedrock lithology, the land uses and the engineering geological setting. Terraced areas on impermeable bedrock were identified as the main landslide-prone areas. The results of the study also showed that the time since abandonment of terraces plays an important role in the occurrence of shallow landslides induced by rainfall. 相似文献

The effects of horizontal and vertical pseudo-static forces on reinforced soil structures are investigated in the paper. In particular, the effects of the magnitude and amplification of the ground acceleration on the seismic stability of reinforced soil slopes and walls have been investigated using the Horizontal Slices Method (HSM). The HSM is a limit equilibrium method for the analysis of reinforced soil structures, which offers a number of benefits over conventional vertical slice methods. First, a parametric study using acceptable geotechnical, geometrical and design parameters was undertaken. The results of the parametric analysis are presented in dimensionless form relating to the force required to maintain stability of the slope (K) and the required length of the reinforcements (Lc/H). Different rotational and planar slip surfaces are shown for various slopes and walls with different geotechnical strength parameters. Second, the capability of the HSM to consider the effect of earthquake amplification on the stability analysis of reinforced soil structures was considered. It has been shown that the effect of horizontal seismic acceleration on the response of reinforced slopes and walls depends mainly on the geotechnical strength parameters. The effect of vertical seismic acceleration on the performance of reinforced slopes is not significant for low values of horizontal seismic acceleration. It has been concluded that ignoring the effect of the amplification phenomenon could result in an underestimated design. 相似文献

Stability analysis of strain-softening slopes is carried out using the shear strength reduction method and Mohr-Coulomb model with degrading cohesion and friction angle.The e ffect of strain-softening behavior on the slope factor of safety is investigated by performing a series of analyses for various slope geometries and strength properties.Stability charts and equations are developed to estimate the factor of safety of strain-softe ning slopes from the results of traditional stability analysis based on perfectly-plastic behavior.Two example applications including an open pit mine in weak rock and clay shale slope with daylighting bedding planes are presented.The results of limit equilibrium analysis and shear strength reduction method with perfectly-plastic models were in close agreement.Using perfectly-plastic models with peak strength properties led to overly optimistic results while adopting residual strength properties gave excessively conservative outcomes.The shear strength reduction method with a strain-softening model gave realistic factors of safety while accounting for the process of strength degradation. 相似文献

In the present study, a model is developed to calculate the upper bound of the seismic displacement of a slope based on the sliding rigid block model. In this model, it is assumed that the geotechnical materials satisfy the nonlinear Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) failure criterion, and the instantaneous shear strength parameters are introduced by the “external tangent method”. A sequential quadratic program, based on the nonlinear iteration procedure, is also employed to obtain the optimal solution for the objective function. Using the upper bound method and the Newmark sliding rigid block model, the effect of the vertical earthquake component on the permanent displacement of slopes is studied under the following two conditions: (1) It is assumed that the vertical acceleration is in phase with the horizontal acceleration; (2) Actual vertical ground motion records are used (i.e., the vertical and horizontal accelerations are mutually independent). The results show that the nonlinear parameter m significantly affects the permanent displacement of slopes, and that the effect of the vertical earthquake component on permanent displacement cannot be ignored. The impact of the vertical earthquake component on slope stability will be overestimated if the vertical acceleration is in phase with the horizontal acceleration. 相似文献

This paper presents an experimental investigation into slope failure during water-level drawdown using transparent soil. The internal characteristics of slope failure are not well-known due to the limitations of the techniques used in the experiments conducted to date. In this study, transparent soil is used to visualize the process of slope failure. We developed a water-level control system to implement simulation of the drawdown of the water level at various speeds and used a charge-coupled device camera to capture images during the entire slope failure process. Particle image velocimetry was used to measure the displacement of the sand particles and identify the sliding zones. The flow paths of the fluid inside the slope were illuminated using an organic dye. The results show that the slope failure process can be divided into two stages: surface and overall sliding. The overall sliding of the slope is caused by the gradual development of partial instability, and the failure mode is a cyclic failure. The slope angle is different above and below the water level during the process of sliding. In our experiments, the slope angle is about 20° above the water level, which is the same as the final stable slope angle, and about 35° below the water level, which is the same as the initial slope angle. This means that the drawdown influences the angle above the water level but has little influence on the angle below the water level. The results of this paper provide a better understanding of the physical behavior and failure mode of soil slopes caused by drawdowns near the coast. 相似文献

Sandsloot open pit is located on the northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex. It is the largest open pit platinum mine in the world. Three major joint sets have been recognized at Sandsloot, which are related to the regional tectonic history. They have an important influence on slope stability in the open pit, notably in terms of planar and wedge failures. Detailed geological and geotechnical data are often a notable unknown factor in the design and operation of an open pit, the lack of which may pose a significant risk to the mining venture. As data are accumulated and used effectively, so the risk of unforeseen conditions is reduced, and accordingly safety and productivity is increased. Usually, the geotechnical work undertaken at an open pit mine is in connection with improving slope stability. At Sandsloot open pit geological and geotechnical data have been obtained by face mapping, scanline surveys, from exploration drillholes and from laboratory tests. Such data have been used to delineate different geotechnical zones in which different types of slope failure have occurred. These are the usual types of slope failure associated with rock masses, namely, planar, wedge, toppling and circular failures. Analysis of the data has allowed optimum design parameters to be developed for these zones which has led to improved slope stability. In other words, this has allowed slope management programmes to be initiated, as well as slope optimization of the hangingwall. The latter resulted in an improved slope configuration and an increase in the ultimate angle of the wall by 7°. This has resulted in substantial savings, as well as an improvement in safety. 相似文献

圆形凸坡的稳定性分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
通过三维数值分析表明圆形凸坡的破坏模式接近于轴对称破坏,采用一般的三维破坏模式会使计算结果偏于不安全,揭示了目前三维分析方法中滑裂面形状的假设并非总是合理。构建了轴对称条件下的容许速度场,得到了内摩擦角(=0时圆形凸坡临界坡高的上限解。同时提出了轴对称破坏模式下,计算圆形凸坡安全系数的极限平衡方法。比较了圆形凸坡和长直坡的稳定性差异,圆形凸坡的相对半径越小、土体越接近于纯黏性土时两者的差异越大,坡度较小时前者较稳定,坡度较大时则相反,进而纠正了以往认为平面应变模型计算圆形凸坡偏于不安全的错误认识。 相似文献
