Stability Analysis for Slopes of Maerdang Hydropower Station with the Three-Dimensional Limit Equilibrium Method

Abstract:

Firstly analyzed the stability of blocks with block theory and secondly evaluated the stability of blocks with three-dimensional limit equilibrium method and finally evaluated the whole stability of slopes. Stability analysis for the slope of Maerdang hydropower station shows that natural slopes which belong to the upstream of Hadehei ditch on the right bank will not occur wedge slide, tailrace slopes of hydropower station have not sliding slopes searched which are in potential slide, if taking some measures to reinforce the stability of man-made slopes on the face rock-fill hub, which may meet the demand of the specification.
