The Stability

Fissure is one of the most important characteristics in expansive soil. It’s an important factor affecting slope stability in the expansive soil area. With the study of expansive soils typical channel slope fissured characters in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, different impaction on slope stability such as location and inclination of the fissure are analyzed. By using the limit equilibrium method, the stability of expansive soil slope is analyzed; the most adverse condition of expansive soil slope is concluded. Then anti-slippery pile reinforcement in expansive soil channel slope is studied by using finite difference method. The research is of great significance to the construction and reinforcement of expansive soil slopes in South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

With the increasing volume demand of silos, squat silo diameters are bigger and bigger. However, present wall pressure computation methods are mostly based on small diameter silos. To solve this problem, systematical research on the wall pressure in squat silos is of great importance. For now, in the Chinese code the wall pressure computation methods are based on the limit equilibrium theory to be calculated, which define the orientation of the failure plane in the bulk solid within the silo. The rupture angle is a key parameter to silos’ wall pressure. Therefore the value and direction of rupture angle are researched by theoretical method in this paper, which has heavy significance and provide an important basis for the large diameter silo design.

Slope instability may be a result of change in stress conditions, rise in groundwater table and rainfall. Similarly, many slopes that have been stable for several years can abruptly fail due to changes in geometry, weak soil shear strength or as the effect of an external force. Debris flows (i.e. slope failures) take place without any warning and can have devastating results. So, it is vital to understand the slope failure mechanism and adopt safety prevention measures. Soil nailing is one of the widely used stabilization techniques for soil slopes. In this study, soil nail technique is proposed to upgrade the existing slope in clay. A parametric study was conducted to understand the effects of different nail diameter (i.e. 25mm and 40mm) and nail inclination (i.e. 200, 250, 300, 350 and 400) on slope stability. Morgenstern-Price (i.e. limit equilibrium) method was used to determine the factor of safety of the slope. It was found that the factor of safety of the existing slope improved significantly with three rows of 40mm diameter nail at an inclination of 400.

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.

Abstract Pseudostatic limit-equilibrium based slope stability analyses are carried out on a routine basis to evaluate stability of submarine slopes under earthquake loading. For slopes in deepwater settings, a major challenge in performing pseudostatic slope stability analyses is selection of an appropriate seismic coefficient. Most published displacement-based methodologies for seismic coefficient selection were developed using simplified sliding block models for seismic slope performance evaluation that are unable to capture the complex deformation mechanism of deepwater slopes during earthquakes. To address this challenge, this study employs two-dimensional dynamic finite-element based deformation analysis to investigate the earthquake response of submarine clay slopes characterized by morphology, stratigraphic architecture and geotechnical properties representative for the deepwater environment. Finite-element computed seismic slope performance indicators, including horizontal peak ground acceleration at the seafloor and earthquake-induced maximum shear strain within the slope, along with horizontal seismic coefficients required to trigger slope instability in limit-equilibrium based pseudostatic stability analyses are used to develop a rational shear strain-based correlation relationship for deepwater slope seismic coefficient selection.

Unstable Rock

A lot of investigations showed that unstable rock masses (URM) could be classified into four failure modes：whole slide，rock block landslide，whole shear fall，and compress-rip-slide. Unloading cracks forming URM failure boundary don¢t store water usually，so the main loads to cause URM failure in dam region are weight and earthquake force. According to limit equilibrium theory, Authors put forward different calculation method of stability and criterion of stability state class to different failure mode. The corresponding treatments and cure to URM of different scale and stability state are presented, too.

The Common

The application of limit equilibrium analysis and numerical simulation in case of slope instability is described. The purpose of the study was to use both limit equilibrium methods (LEMs) and numerical simulations (finite element method (FEM)) to understanding the common factor imposing the selected slope into slope instabilities. Field observations, toppling analysis, rotational analysis, and numerical simulations were performed. The results of the study showed that the selected unstable slopes were associated with the sliding types of toppling; it was observed that the slopes were governed by tension cracks and layered soil mass and dominated with approximately two joints sets throughout. The simulated factor of safety (FoS) of the slopes composed of clay soil was denoted to be prone to slope instability while others were categorized as moderately stable. The simulated FoS of the slopes correlated very well with the visual observations; however, it is anticipated that properties of soil mass and other characteristics of the slopes contributed largely to the simulated FoS. The sensitivity of the model was further tested by looking into the effect of the slope angle on the stability of the slope. The results of the simulations showed that the steeper the slope, the more they become prone to instability. Lastly, Phase 2 numerical simulation (FEM) showed that volumetric strain, shear stress, shear strain, total displacement, and σ1 and σ3 components of the slope increase with the stages of the road construction. It was concluded improper road construction, steepness of the slope, slope properties (soil types), and multiple geological features cutting across are the common mechanisms behind the slope instability.
