The Stability

The stability of the soil slop is influenced by many factors. In this paper, the influence of cross section geometric shape on the slope stability is analyzed by establishing a reasonable calculation model and using finite element strength reduction method. Results indicate that the slope stability of stepped excavation surface is higher than that of linear excavation surface, and the stability is better with larger and more platforms, the designers should make a choice in design by comparing cost and ease of construction. Slope table form also has affections, the stability of concave linear and convex slope type decreases in turn.

The Stability

The present study is to investigate the stability of the backfill subgrade on the lower bearing capacity foundation. A finite element (FE) model was constructed to simulate the high-filled road subjected to the actual self-weight load. The strength reduction method was adopted to establish an analysis model of slope stability. At the same time, the sensitivity analysis of the factors affecting the slope stability was carried out through parametric studies, including the elastic modulus, cohesion, internal friction angle, and slope rate. The results showed that the slope stability analysis model established by the strength reduction method can characterize the stability of the slope by calculating the slope safety coefficient. The mutation point of the relationship curve between the displacement generated in the slope and the reduction coefficient can be used as the criterion. Under the condition of a given strength reduction coefficient, the calculated results obtained through FE modeling can show the development of the equivalent plastic zone in the form of cloud diagrams.

This article analyze the slope stability by strength reduction method named Phi-c which supplied by FE software PLAXIS. The reduction factor is suggest to be the safety factor of the slope at the moment when the slope reaches instability, the numerical non-convergence occurs simultaneously. The position of sliding surface and dynamic simulation of instability can be obtain as well. This article has compared the results calculated by other methods Bishop and ABAQUS with difference between 2%-3% which attest to its accuracy and practicability in engineering.

Shear Strength Reduction

Comparing with conventional expressway embankment filled with clay only, the sand embankment tipped by intensely-weathered rock (IWR) can effectively reduce the consumption of cultivated land resource caused by the construction of expressway engineering. So it is significant to research the constructions of sand embankment tipped by IWR if local sand resources are enough. Combined with the construction of Qing-Lin freeway, in China, the slope stability of the embankment filled with sand and tipped by IWR outside was analyzed in the paper, and the analysis was conducted by the strength reduction method. The effects of the changes of compaction, water content, ratio of slope, height of the embankment and different IWR-width on the safety factor of the slope stability were investigated. The results indicate that, when the height of embankment is constant, the ratio of slope is the most important factor which influences the stability of side slope, and the IWR-width does not have a decisive effect on the safety factor on subsoil condition and it can be determined according to the convenience of site construction.

The Stability

The stability and the instability form of tunnel surrounding rock have always been hotspot and difficulty problems in underground engineering. We combined the finite element method with the strength reduction method to study the stability of the surrounding rock in tunnel with large cross section. To study the vault settlement, ground settlement and some feature points’ displacement, we used ADINA software to establish a simulation model, from which we can get the relationship between the strength reduction factor and data such as the maximum principal stress and the maximum plastic strain. Also, with analyzing the stability of tunnel surrounding rock, we defined the safety coefficient as 2.5 at last. Then, the tunnel’s weak position during the excavation projects and corresponding strengthening measures can be found through analyzing tunnel stress condition.
