Using prestressed anchor cables is one of the most common approaches for reinforcing slopes. By establishing a calculation model for a high and steep slope, the changes of displacement of slope foot and increment of force on the cables under different prestresses were calculated. Furthermore, the influence of prestress on the changes of displacement of slope foot and force on the cables was analysed. By analysing the changes in force on cables in different parts of the slope, the reinforcement mechanism of a prestressed anchor cable on the slope was attained. The result showed that the reinforcement effect of prestressed anchor cable on the slope was mainly attributed to it effectively restricting the displacement of sliding mass in the slope, while the effect of cables in the lower part of the slope was more significant than that of those in the upper part of the slope. Therefore, to reduce the number of cables, decrease the construction difficulty of cables and save money, it is feasible to remove cables in the range of the upper-third of the slope. Afterwards, by improving the cable prestress in the range of the lower-third and reducing the cable prestress in the middle, the safety factor of the slope can satisfy design requirements, thus reinforcing the slope.

In Guangdong MeiHe highway K28 + 360 ~ + 360 section of the steep slope embankment as the research object, by adopting the combination of measurement and numerical analysis methods, analyze the failure process and mode of steep slope embankment. Based on the analyses, The following conclusions were obtained: the sliding surface of fill embankments on slope foundations of K28+360~+860 section was the original surface of the slope. Constructions of the highway would block the groundwater discharge and reduce the strength of the original surface of the slope, which would cause the slide of the fill embankments on slope foundations.

Abstract: Affected by various external factors, the tensile force of prestressed anchorage structures presents loop and fluctuation characteristics in practical engineerings, which will cause severe impact on the inner anchoring section of the prestressed anchorage structures. On this base, PFC2D discrete element program was established for numerical simulation analysis of microscopic physical and mechanical changing characteristics of stress, porosity, angle, etc. of different interfaces locations for prestressed anchor cable under cyclic loading. The results showed that: at locations of the front-middle, the grouting body near interfaces were divided into tensile stress area of the inside part and compressive stress area of the outside part, and two locations of y-direction stress concentration were located at the two end of inner anchoring section; The interfaces had the feature of progressive failure and the characteristic of shear stress peak shifting; While loading finish, particles at different locations of interfaces basically generated clockwise rotation angle, but at two locations of y-direction stress concentration, the particles rotation angle, which was very small at the other locations, was very large; At y-direction tension and compression stress boundary, the particles spinning direction showed instability characteristic and the ultimate rotation angle was small.

Soil-liquefaction-related hazards can damage structures or lead to an extensive loss of life and property. Therefore, the stability and safety of structures against soil liquefaction are essential for evaluation in earthquake design. In practice, the simplified liquefaction analysis procedure associated with numerical simulation analysis is the most used approach for evaluating the behavior of structures or the effectiveness of mitigation plans. First, the occurrence of soil liquefaction is evaluated using the simplified procedure. If soil liquefaction occurs, the resulting structural damage or the following mitigation plan is evaluated using the numerical simulation analysis. Rational and comparable evaluation results between the simplified liquefaction analysis procedure and the numerical simulation analysis are achieved by ensuring that the liquefaction constitutive model used in the numerical simulation has a consistent liquefaction resistance with the simplified liquefaction analysis procedure. In this study, two frequently used liquefaction constitutive models (Finn model and UBCSAND model) were calibrated by fitting the liquefaction triggering curves of most used simplified liquefaction analysis procedures (NCEER, HBF, JRA96, and T-Y procedures) in Taiwan via FLAC program. In addition, the responses of two calibrated models were compared and discussed to provide guidelines for selecting an appropriate liquefaction constitutive model in future projects.
