To analyze the stability of Heituwan tailings pond after vacuum well point dewatering treatment, a unit thickness numerical 3D model was built based on field survey data and physical mechanical properties tests; and the model was analyzed by FEM numerical software according to strength reduction method. The properties of stress and strain, the plastic region, and the deformation properties are acquired by numerical stimulation, and the simulation result was compared withe the in-situ monitoring data. The results show that the safety factor does not meet the requirements of the standard; and most of the landfill made of manganese tailing has developed into plastic status; the deformation is more obvious where the tailing store is higher and closer to roller compacted rockfill dam; the manganese tailing landfill near the roller compacted rockfill dam should be grouted by cement to meet the requirements of continued use.

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.

The Earth

In the design process of the earth-rock dam, the slope stability problem was always focused on. The shear strength of rockfill in the earth-rock dam had strong nonlinear characteristics. The characteristic directly affected the factor of safety (FOS) of stability of dam slope and the determination of the critical slip surface. The shear strength parameter of rockfill was related to the minimum principal stress σ3 closely. And the value of σ3 had close relationship with the deformation characteristics of filling material and the process of dam filling etc. Strength reduction method has been widely used in solving the FOS of slope stability, and this method has the advantage on the searching of the critical slip surface. Combining the deformation and stress analysis of earth-rockfill dam filling process and the strength reduction method, this paper proposes a comprehensive method of dam slope stability analysis.

An analysis on safety factor of slope through c - φ reduction algorithm by finite elements method is presented. When the system reaches instability, the numerical non-convergence occurs simultaneously. The safety factor is then obtained by c φ reduction algorithm. This paper, which combines with the actual situation of Jinduicheng open pit mine, analysis the stability of the limit height of the dump based on strength reduction of finite element method. And the value of slope safety factor is 1.25 to 1.30. The results show that calculating safety factors of the slope by ANSYS is in full conformity with the basic requirement of safety. That means, the dump is stable, which can reduce the production costs and benefit the enterprise.

The slope deformation and instability caused by rainfall is the most common geological hazard in the highway slope landslide hazards. This paper used the finite element method to analyze the stability of slop in a variety of water-saturated conditions based on the strength reduction method, and to get the mechanism of rainfall weakening the strength of landslide. The results shows that the slope landslide in the fully saturated state would be instability when the surface was muddy geotechnical (thickness about 5 m), but it could remain stable when the saturated rate was under 80%. Under the action of rainfall, the maximum shear stress of potential slip plane in this kind of slopes was in the landslide’s lower edge which has obvious stress concentraten. Therefore, slope control measures should be strengthened to prevent the occurrence of the landslide hazard in the lot of long rainy season.

Abstract Due to long-term mining, a series of high and steep rock slopes have been formed in the open-pit mine. For high rock slopes, rainfall infiltration is the main cause of landslide. Therefore, the stability analysis of high rock slope under rainfall has become a key issue in the open-pit mine engineering. In this work, aiming at the high stress condition of high rock slope, the instantaneous internal friction angle and instantaneous cohesion of rock mass under different stress states are deduced, and the a nonlinear strength reduction method for high rock slope is established according to the relationship between normal stress and shear stress of rock mass under the Hoke-Brown criterion. The numerical calculation results show that the factor of safety (FOS) for high rock slope calculated by the proposed method is more reasonable. Taking the southwest slope of Dagushan Iron Mine as the research background, the safety factors of high rock slope under different rainfall conditions are calculated by COMSOL Multiphysics. And the stability analysis of high rock slope in open-pit mine under rainfall are carried out.

The Stability

Near-field ground shock features are analyzed according to the seismological record of the May 12 Wenchuan earthquake made at the Wolong observation station. A numerical analysis model is established by taking the record as the input seismic load and a real high and steep rock slope on the bank of the Zipingpu Reservoir. The acceleration response and shear strain increment distribution features at different locations of the slope under horizontal seismic force are analyzed using Plaxis software. The moment when the widest plastic zone occurs for the slope is obtained by time history analysis. The corresponding stability factor of the slope at that moment is calculated using the strength reduction method (including shear strength and tensile strength). The above is the Time History Analysis–Strength Reduction Method presented in this article. In addition, the stability factor of the slope can be calculated using the pseudostatic method by taking the seismic force as the external load. This is the Time History Analysis–Pseudostatic method put forward in this paper. Analysis results demonstrate that, as far as the studied high and steep slope is concerned, at 31.89 s, the stability factor calculated with the Time History Analysis–Strength Reduction Method is 1.004, which is slightly larger than the 0.833 obtained using the Time History Analysis–Pseudostatic Method (Spencer method). Both results demonstrate that there is collapse and sliding failure of the localized rock mass at the top of the slope at that moment because of joint fracture. Field investigation after the earthquake further verified the calculation result, proving to a certain degree the rationality of the analysis method presented.

Shear Strength Reduction

The three-dimensional shear strength reduction method is used to evaluate the stability of an idealized slope stabilized with anchors, where the soil-anchor interaction is simulated by zero-thickness three-dimensional interface elements, and the effects of the direction angle, position, spacing on the slope stability are numerical studied. The results show that the reinforcing mechanisms of anchors in slopes are to increase the shearing resistance on the slip surface，and the failure mechanism, predicted by SSR, agrees well with the critical slip circle given by Bishop’s simplified method. The better stabilizing effects can be obtained when the anchors are installed with a small angle between the anchor and the horizontal direction, and slightly closer to the slope toe.
