Taking Magunyan landslide located in Beichuan County as a typical example, the stability influence factors of bedding slopes under the action of seismic load were analyze by using the ANSYS software in this study. The influence factors include excavation, interlayer cohesion and friction coefficient, earthquake magnitude and vibration direction. The related analysis showed that significant influences of excavation existed on the deformation and failure of slopes. And the bedding slopes stability increasing with the interlayer cohesive, the interlayer friction coefficient and earthquake magnitude increases. The analysis also showed that horizontal vibration is the most detrimental on the stability of slopes.

The deformation and failure induced by Wenchuan earthquake between bedding and anti-dip slope existence very big difference. The number and size of the bedding slope deformation and failure are much more than the anti-dip slope according to the investigation and analysis. In order to analyze the layered structure affect on seismic dynamic response of rock Slope. As bedding and anti-dip slope is the study object and the seismic dynamic responses of different layered structure slope have been studied by using ANSYS finite element method in this study. Analysis shows that slope as a structure, the internal structure different lead to the slope seismic dynamic response is also different. The bedding and anti-dip slope seismic dynamic response is discontinuous or mutations in the slope as layered structure interface the boundary. And the seismic dynamic stress, displacement and acceleration of the bedding slope are always greater than the anti-dip slope. The seismic response characteristics further increased the deformation and failure probability of bedding slope. The results consistent with the investigation conclusion that the stability of anti-dip better than the anti-dip slope

Construction on the hillside slope is more challenging to the structural engineer, especially under seismic load due to the presence of a powerful earthquake in addition to the forces of sliding slope itself. Regarding the population growth and narrowness of available lands, people take hillside slopes to build their houses. One of the main sources of seismic vulnerability in Egypt is represented by the instability of slopes; therefore, this is a subject of great significance, particularly in view of the growing attention that has been recently dedicated to the reduction of seismic hazard. This paper evaluates the seismic performance of Doronka city buildings constructed on rocky hillside slope and its foundations system by studying base shear, acceleration, and displacements. The stability of the slope was first evaluated under seismic loads and then the stability of constructed buildings was checked on the hillside slope. The results of study show that these buildings will collapse if subjected to earthquake even if its peak ground acceleration (PGA) magnitude is less than 0.25 g, but the hillside slope remains stable within a high earthquake magnitude.

In order to forecast the stability of deep roadway and optimize the parameters of bolts, the complex stress environment and the multivariate surrounding rocks characteristics of deep roadway were analyzed. Then the classification prediction method and the numerical simulation method were simultaneously used to analysis the stability of surrounding rocks. Furthermore, the supporting parameters of bolts were also designed optimally. It was shown that the characteristics of stress distribution, deformation and failure zone of surrounding rocks are not ideal. So it is necessary to optimize the supporting parameters of deep roadway. All these research findings will provide the theory basis for bolts of deep roadway and will ensure the optimization of bolts and the stability of deep roadway in the long run.

This study presents a methodology to determine the stability and optimal profile for slopes with concave cross section under static and seismic conditions. Concave profiles are observed in some natural slopes suggesting that such geometry is a more stable configuration. In this study, the profile of a concave slope was idealized by a circular arc defined by a single variable, the mid-chord offset (MCO). The proposed concave profile formulation was incorporated into a limit equilibrium–based log spiral slope stability method. Stability charts are presented to show the stability number, MCO, and mode of failure for homogeneous slopes corresponding to the most stable configuration under static and pseudostatic conditions. It is shown that concave profiles can significantly improve the stability of slopes. Under seismic conditions, the impact of concavity is most pronounced. Good agreement was demonstrated upon comparison of the results from the proposed method against those attended from a rigorous upper bound limit analysis. The proposed methodology, along with recent advances in construction technology, can be employed to use concave profiles in trenches, open mine excavations, earth retaining systems, and naturally cemented and stabilized soil slopes. The results presented provide a useful tool for preliminary evaluation for adopting such concave profiles in practice.

The stability is one most important product performance index, which can directly determine the quality of the partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ), and the stability of PSZ is always fluctuating in the commercial process, so how to accurately, quickly and easily predict the stability of PSZ in the preparation process is very important. In the present paper, a new mathematical model to predict the stability of PSZ was proposed, based on statistical theory (SLT) and support vector machine (SVM) theory, which relates the stability of PSZ and the influence factors, such as the holding temperature, rising rate of temperature, holding time, decreasing rate of temperature and hardening temperature. Typical data collected from commercial process were collected for the training samples and test samples. Then testing and analyzing was done. The results showed that the max relative error was 1.80%, the least relative error was 0%, and the average relative error was 0.58%. It is accurate and reliable to predict the stability of PSZ by SVM model. Besides, multiple influence factors can be comprehensively considered in the SVM model, thus a new highly effective method for predicting the stability of PSZ is provided for commercial application.

Purpose This paper aims to theoretically and numerically investigate the steady two-dimensional (2D) Hiemenz flow with heat transfer of Reiner-Rivlin fluid over a linearly stretching/shrinking sheet. Design/methodology/approach The Navier–Stokes equations are transformed into self-similar equations using appropriate similarity transformations and then solved numerically by using shooting technique. A simple but effective mathematical analysis has been used to prove the existence of a solution for stretching case (λ> 0). Moreover, an attempt has been laid to carry the asymptotic solution behavior for large stretching. The obtained asymptotic solutions are compared with direct numerical solutions, and the comparison is quite remarkable. Findings It is observed that the self-similar equations exhibit dual solutions within the range [λc, −1] of shrinking parameter λ, where λc is the turning point from where the dual solutions bifurcate. Unique solution is found for all stretching case (λ > 0). It is noticed that the effects of cross-viscous parameter L and shrinking parameter λ on velocity and thermal fields show opposite character in the dual solution branches. Thus, a linear temporal stability analysis is performed to determine the basic feasible solution. The stability analysis is based on the sign of the smallest eigenvalue, where positive or negative sign leading to a stable or unstable solution. The stability analysis reveals that the first solution is stable that describes the main flow. Increase in cross-viscous parameter L resulting in a significant increment in skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and dual solutions domain. Originality/value This work’s originality is to examine the combined effects of cross-viscous parameter and stretching/shrinking parameter on skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, velocity and temperature profiles of Hiemenz flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet. Although many studies on viscous fluid and nanofluid have been investigated in this field, there are still limited discoveries on non-Newtonian fluids. The obtained results can be used as a benchmark for future studies of higher-grade non-Newtonian flows with several physical aspects. All the generated results are claimed to be novel and have not been published elsewhere.
