边坡地震稳定性分析的拟静力方法适用性研究

针对拟静力方法是否适用于水平设计加速度值较大条件下的地震边坡稳定性分析问题,选取两个典型均质土坡,分别采用极限平衡毕晓普方法与FLAC 2D强度折减方法进行了不同水平设计加速度条件下,地震边坡抗滑稳定性安全系数以及临界滑动面的变化趋势,研究结果发现:对于粘聚力较小的均质土坡而言,无论是极限平衡毕晓普法还是FLAC 2D强度折减法,静力条件下的临界滑动面较浅,随着水平设计加速度值的逐渐增大,地震边坡抗滑稳定安全系数逐渐减小,极限平衡毕晓普法得到临界滑动面基本保持不变,FLAC 2D强度折减法得到的剪应变云图逐渐变窄;对于粘聚力较大而摩擦角较小的均质土坡而言,静力条件下的临界滑动面较深,两种方法下,随着水平设计加速度的增加,抗滑稳定安全系数逐渐减小,临界滑动面逐渐加深,当水平设计加速度值增加到一定程度后,拟静力方法不再适用于地震边坡稳定分析。

STUDY ON THE APPLICABILITY OF THE PSEUDO-STATIC METHOD IN THE SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS

This study aims to find out why the critical slip surface determination is unavailable for the slopes stability analysis under larger earthquake force.Two typical soil slopes are tested and the factor of safety related to each assumed slip surface is calculated by limit equilibrium Bishop Method.FLAC2D is also adopted to determine the critical slip surface with different earthquake forces.The results have shown that in the case of soil slopes with smaller internal cohesion,the critical slip surfaces obtained by Bishop Method and FLAC2D are shallow and remain identical with the different earthquake forces;for soil slopes with larger internal cohesion and smaller friction angle,the static critical slip surface is deep and the larger the earthquake forces,the deeper the critical slip surface.The pseudo-static method is not applicable for this case.
