The mainly purpose of the paper is to investigate the slope excavation deformation of the rock slope at the deep-cutting valley under different load conditions. As an example of the rock slope at the intake of the sluice tunnel of Jinping hydropower station, whose slope deformation characteristics was system analyzed by numerical method during different construction conditions. The dead weight, rain, seism and theirs combination were involved in the numerical analysis. The numerical results could give a reference for the excavation stability of the high rock slope, and it is the basis to determine the reasonable construction method and to optimize the design of the strengthening and enhancing engineering.

With a focus on wedge failure during rock slope excavation and considering stochasticity and finite persistence based on a stochastic structural-plane network simulation and Lajtai’s rock resistance criteria, we present a simplified method combined with binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) to calculate the shear strength of 3D rock masses. The probabilities of rock slope failure under excavation surfaces of various sizes were obtained using the Monte Carlo method. These probabilities can provide a theoretical basis for determining excavation stability. The approach was applied to a rock slope excavation project in Chongqing, China, and yielded satisfactory results.

Due to specific geological conditions, stability of complex high slopes has become one of the key technical problems in hydroelectric project. Especially for steep-high rock slope, it is hard to calculate the stability by normal rigid limit equilibrium method. Steep-high rock slope in Jiangping River hydropower station is taken for example. On the base of study of geological structure and judgment of preferred structure plane, simplified geological model is built up. The main deformation destruction mode and type are analyzed based on block theory, rock mechanics and other basic mechanics while the related critical values are calculated. So slope stability is discussed and corresponding control measures are worked out. This method can be used in following stability research of similar 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.
