Stability Evaluation and Analysis of Homogeneous Rock Slope Using Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rock mass is simplified as homogeneous material. Shear strength reduction approach is applied to evaluate stability of rock slope and calculate safety factor of sliding surface. Mohr-Coulomb fracture criterion is used to evaluate the sliding state of every element of finite element model for rock mass. The shear strength parameters of rock mass are evaluated from the laboratory tests and engineering analogy. The distributions of plastic zone at collapse state and safety factor of sliding surface are determined.
