Stability Analysis of Soil Slope and the Design of Anti-Slide Piles during Unsteady Seepage

Article Preview

Abstract:

Principle of calculation of water and earth pressures together by Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) is introduced, and coupled deformation and seepage analysis is conducted by Finite Element Method (FEM ).The response of one soil slope is simulated during rapid drawdown of water level by LEM and FEM. The results calculated show that seepage upraises the critical slip surfaces, and critical slip surfaces and safety factors by two ways are pretty close. To assure the safety of the slope, the design of anti-slide piles is carried out. Those ways used may provide reference to engineering practice.
