The reliability of loess cave dwellings based on fuzzy failure criterion is researched to analyze the influence of fuzzy set, membership function, and different combinations of random variables. Due to the strength reduction method, the basic failure criterion is established, the fuzzy property of failure criterion is characterized by fuzzy set and membership function, and the performance function of loess cave dwellings is expressed by a quadratic polynomial without cross terms. Reliability is analyzed with different random variable combinations. The reliability research of loess cave dwellings in Shan Plateau, Henan province, China, shows that the loess property in this area is suitable for loess cave dwelling construction and the reliability index of loess cave dwellings is high, which will be decreased when considering the fuzzy failure criterion and will be increasing sharply when the small cave leg width is improved to average value.

Unstable Rock

With the slope unstable rock masses of a stope in Longsi mine, Jiaozuo City, China as the target, we computed and analyzed the stability of unstable rock masses using a limit equilibrium method (LEM) and a discrete element strength reduction method (SRM). Results show that the unstable rock masses are currently stable. Under the external actions of natural weathering, rainfall and earthquake, unstable rock mass 1 was manifested as a shear slip failure mode, and its stability was controlled jointly by bedding-plane and posterior-margin steep inclined joints. In comparison, unstable rock mass 2 was manifested as a tensile-crack toppling failure mode, and its stability was controlled by the perforation of posterior-margin joints. From the results of the 2 methods we find the safety factor determined from SRM is larger, but not significantly, than that from LEM, and SRM can simulate the progressive failure process of unstable rock masses. SRM also provides information about forces and deformation (e.g. stress-strain, and displacement) and more efficiently visualizes the parts at the slope that are susceptible to instability, suggesting SRM can be used as a supplementation of LEM.

Jointed Rock Slope

In order to study the failure mechanism and assess the stability of the inlet slope of the outlet structure of Lianghekou Hydropower station, the strength reduction method considering the ubiquitous joint model is proposed. Firstly, two-dimension numerical models are built to investigate the influence of the dilation angle of ubiquitous joints, mesh discretization, and solution domain size on the slope stability. It is found that the factor of safety is insensitive to the dilation angle of ubiquitous joints and the solution domain size but sensitive to the mesh discretization when the number of elements less than a certain threshold. Then, a complex three-dimension numerical model is built to assess the stability of the inlet slope of the outlet structure of Lianghekou Hydropower station. During the strength reduction procedure, the progressive failure process and the final failure surface of the slope are obtained. Furthermore, the comparison of factors of safety obtained from strength reduction method and analytical solutions indicates that the effect of vertical side boundaries plays an important role in the stability of jointed rock slope, and the cohesive force is the main contribution to the resistant force of vertical side boundaries.

When calculating the dam slope failure process, traditional strength reduction method doesn't consider the difference of decay rate between cohesion and internal friction angle and discount the strength parameters for all elements. This paper uses two different reduction factors for material strength parameters, slope cohesion and internal friction angle. Based on the yield approach index criterion, we change the reduction region in time and put forward a double safety factor of dynamic local strength reduction method for engineering analysis of dam slope stability.

Abstract. Combined the strength reduction method with ABAQUS, the development of the slope plastic strain of different reduction coefficient is obtained by constantly adjusting reduction coefficient to change the strength index of the soil. The reduction coefficient is obtained from the criterion of numerical convergence and displacement mutation and plastic zone breakthrough. Through the analysis and comparison with the results, the reduction coefficient by the criterion of displacement mutation is consistent with the result of the criterion of plastic zone breakthrough. The reduction coefficient is the safety coefficient of the slope, and compared and analyzed with the slope factor of limit equilibrium method Bishop. The result shows that the displacement mutation and the plastic zone breakthrough as criterions to judge the slope instability are reasonable.
