Study on Graphic Method for the Stability of High Loess Slopes Based on MATLAB

Abstract:

High loess slopes are easily unstable because of the water sensitivity of loess, therefore, the study on stability of high loess slopes is a very important task for water and soil conservation on loess plateau. Forcus on the inefficiency of current graphic method, after considering main influencing factors of stability of high loess slopes, such as lithology, topography, groundwater conditions, slope water content and seismic intensity, etc., on the basis of graphic method, an automatic table lookup program was developed, moreover, the interfaces of graphic method were compiled based on MATLAB platform, which could automatically generate plenty of obvious characteristics of slope data for further modeling.
