Hierarchy Process

Study of mechanical characteristics of structural planes has been significant issue in engineering rock mass stability analysis. The factors that affect the mechanical behavior of structural planes are so complicated that it is quite essential to take an efficient method to quantificationally analyze these factors. Based on the basic principals of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a structural plane classification method-CSPC method is proposed. It can conduct weight distribution in terms of the complicated factors, assess the structural planes comprehensively and also forecast the planes intensity parameters semiquantitatively. The classification and forecast parameters of structural planes appropriately fit the cases in engineering. Furthermore, the method is easy to master for the engineers and the application can be of great prospect.

Dangerous Rock Mass

Collapse is one of the major geological disasters all over the world and threats to life and property safety of people. To make a better understanding of the reason it occurs and how to deal with it, the Kim-Yun-Mine collapse is researched. There are one dangerous rock mass and two collapse accumulation body. The basic characteristics of the collapse is described clearly according to the geological exploration data, and the stability of the dangerous rock mass and the collapse accumulated body is analyzed in the way of engineering geology and stereographic projection. At last, we put forward comprehensive control measures based on the results of stability analysis and collapse characteristics.

High Rock Slope

The meshless methods are particularly suitable for modeling problems with discontinuities such as joints in rock mass. The meshless Shepard and least squares (MSLS) method is a newly developed meshless method, which overcomes some limitations with other meshless methods. In the present paper, the MSLS method is extended for modeling jointed rock mass and the joint is modeled as discontinuity governing the near-field stress. A substantial high rock slope by the dam shoulder of Jinping Hydropower Station is analyzed by the developed method. Safety factors are evaluated based on the stress results along potential slip surfaces and compared with the conventional slice methods. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using the MSLS method in rock slope stability analysis and also reveal some interesting differences from the conventional slice methods. Some findings and outstanding issues demonstrated in this study are discussed in the end, which can be the topics for future development.

Static And Dynamic Stability

This paper focuses on stability analysis of an artificial rock mass slope by a nonlinear finite element method (FEM). For a long time, rock slope stability problem is always an important research issue in the field of geotechnical engineering, which is related to human life and property safety as well as engineering security and efficiency. Therefore, the stability analysis and evaluation on rock slope is of great significance. The static and dynamic stability analysis on the artificial rock mass slope of WuAn power plant in China is carried on respectively in this paper by using the strength reduction method and FLAC3D software. In this analysis, static and dynamic instability criterions are enumerated, and the static and dynamic safety factors are calculated with the developed criterions of the displacement mutation, respectively. The analysis results show that the artificial rock mass slope is basically stable. It indicates that analyzing slope stability with strength reduction method is feasible.

The Impact

Soft rock is frequently encountered in underground excavation process. It is difficult to excavate and support in soft rock mass which has low strength, large deformation and needs much time to be out of shape but little time to be self-stabilized. Based on a large underground power station, finite element model analysis was carried out to simulate the excavation process and the results of displacement, stress and plasticity area were compared between supported and unsupported conditions to evaluate the stability of the rock mass.
