Numerical Simulation of Fractured Rock Slope with Shear-Slip Behavior

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development of shear-slip cracks and motion trend of fracture water were presented for discussing the shear-slip behavior and analyzing the stability of fractured rock slope under hydraulic action. Seepage behavior of epigenetic cracks and the positions of slip or collapse were also investigated by monitoring pore water pressure using DEM. The analysis method of discrete element simulation for fractured rock slope was proposed. The results of numerical simulation indicated that interpenetrating fractures are more likely to be slip planes.
