Analysis of Slope Stability Containing Weak Layers

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to search for the control factors of slope stability containing weak layers, combining with the methods of the finite element and the limit equilibrium to simulate the slope stability problems. From the numerical simulation results, the stress field distribution and displacement field distribution internal the slope could be got. According to the finite element analysis results and the safety factor of slope stability got with the limit equilibrium method, evaluate the slope stability. By the simulation analysis of slope which contains a number of weak structural surfaces, the conclusion we got is that the existence of weak structural plane like weak layers and faults are the main factors of slope instability.
