Anti-Sliding Stability Analysis of Saturated Rock Slope

Abstract:

Based on the assumption of the improved groundwater pressure distribution, the calculation expression of anti-sliding stability factor for typical water-saturated rock slope is deduced through limit equilibrium method. Considering the combined effect of slope overload, seismic load, anchoring effect, ice frost, slip surface drag force and slope groundwater pressure, the comparative analysis of typical rock slope sliding stability under waterless and saturated conditions shows that, the outflow joint blocking and the groundwater levels rising have obvious adverse effects on the anti-sliding stability of rock slope. Figures about the relationship of stability factors and geometric factors were drawn and the anti-sliding stability factor can be directly obtained from these figures. All would be the references for the similar engineering projects.
