Finite Element Analysis on the Formation Mechanism of One Landslide in Tibet

Abstract:

Finite element method was used to simulate the regularities of distribution and diversification about the landslide displacement, stress and strain of left dam shoulder of one reservoir in Tibet. The mechanism of slope deformation and failure was achieved through analyzing landslide stress field distribution and formation mechanism. Results show that stress concentration areas mainly lay in the tension stress zone, weak rock plasticity zone and shearing export sectors. The results provide some theory basis for the safe construction normal work and control of the reservoir.
