Numerical Simulation of Failure Process on Soil Slope with Different Support Measures

Abstract:

In conventional analysis methods of soil slope, we must presume potential sliding surface at first and then gain the safety factors, judge the stability of slope by the safety factors. In fact, if we know a slope is unstability but don’t know where will be slide or failure, we can’t adopt effective measures to support and prevent the sliding accidents appearing. This paper use RFPA-Centrifuge to numerical simulate the failure of soil slope with different support measures without presume any potential sliding surface, success to gain the failure process and the corresponding safety factors. From the calculate results of RFPA-Centrifuge, we can find where is the first failure point and all the slide mass. So if we can use good analysis software to simulate the failure process of slope and adopt corresponding support measures before the engineering beginning, the stability of slope will be better and the accidents will be disappeared or reduced.
