Slope Stability Analysis Based on Limit Equilibrium and Numerical Analysis

Abstract:

Based on the background of a foundation pit slope of the tertiary strong weathered basalt(TSWB), a quantitative analysis of the slope stability is proposed by combination of the limit equilibrium and the numerical analysis. The analysis also considers the effects of the natural state and soaking state Then, as an example, an ultra-deep foundation pit slope (UFPS) is analyzed under the background of TSWB. The Janbu method is used in the limit equilibrium because it can meet all the equilibrium conditions, including the force and moment equilibrium equation. The Lagrangian difference method which based on shear strength reduction is adopted in numerical analysis. Some meaningful conclusions can be obtained through comparing analysis the calculation results of Janbu method with finite difference method. These conclusions can be given a reference to similar projects.
