基于极限分析上限方法的海底斜坡地震稳定性

极限分析上限方法在海底斜坡稳定性评价中受到了广泛关注,但已有成果未考虑地震荷载以及多土层海底斜坡可能出现的局部破坏机制。基于上限定理,推导了拟静力水平地震条件下多土层海底斜坡外力功率与内能耗散率平衡方程;结合强度折减技术和最优化方法,求解了海底斜坡整体和局部地震稳定性安全系数,并实现了多土层海底斜坡的局部滑动面搜索;通过典型算例分析,验证了本文方法的有效性。在此基础上,探讨了不同水平地震条件下两种组合土层海底斜坡的整体和局部稳定性,通过与数值解对比,其结果可以较准确地评价海底斜坡稳定性并有效预测滑移面位置。最后,将极限分析上限方法应用于一海底斜坡工程实例。     

顺层岩质边坡稳定性极限分析上限法

基于极限分析上限法理论,运用体积力增量法,考虑单层滑动面极限分析模型的缺陷,建立考虑含结构面的多岩层错动的任意块体模型,利用岩块体在外荷载作用下达到极限破坏时,外荷载做的功与岩体消耗的功相等为基础建立等式方程,由此推导得到此类边坡稳定系数的计算公式。在分析典型边坡算例的基础上,对比离散元数值模拟结果,验证了该方法的可行性和适用性。对云南省普宣高速公路某顺层岩质边坡进行计算,其稳定系数接近离散元数值模拟结果,数值稍有偏大,边坡稳定。其研究结果为此类边坡稳定性评价提供了一种新的计算方法。     

考虑层间错动的顺层岩质边坡稳定性分析

渝怀线DK385+470～DK385+700段为典型的顺层岩质边坡,当采用滑面为直线型的刚体极限平衡法进行分析计算时,由于无法考虑滑体内的层间错动对边坡稳定性的影响,直接导致稳定系数计算结果偏大。根据极限分析上限法原理,结合工程实例,提出了考虑层间错动的顺层岩质边坡极限分析上限法,并推导了这种方法的稳定系数计算公式。该方法可以将层间错动产生的内能耗散计入到虚功率方程中,因而可以考虑层间错动对边坡稳定性的影响。以渝怀线典型顺层岩质边坡为例,采用刚体极限平衡法和极限分析上限法分别进行了稳定性分析计算,结果两种方法却得出了截然相反的结论。

Stability analysis of slopes reinforced with piles

In this paper, the kinematic approach of limit analysis is used to analyse the stability of earth slopes reinforced with piles. First, the case of slope without piles is considered and a procedure is developed to calculate the safety factor for the slope. Results are compared with those obtained using both the limit equilibrium method and more complex upper and lower bound limit analysis solutions. Then, the stability of slopes reinforced with piles is analysed. Expressions are derived allowing the force needed to increase the safety factor to a desired value and the most suitable location of piles within the slope to be evaluated. A study is carried out to illustrate the effect of piles on slope stability.     

Upper bound finite element analysis of slope stability using a nonlinear failure criterion

In this study, upper bound finite element (FE) limit analysis is applied to stability problems of slopes using a nonlinear criterion. After formulating the upper bound analysis as the dual form of a second-order cone programming (SOCP) problem, the stress field and corresponding shear strength parameters can be determined iteratively. Thus, the nonlinear failure criterion is represented by the shear strength parameters associated with stress so that the analysis of slope stability using a nonlinear failure criterion can be transformed into the traditional upper bound method with a linear Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. Comparison with published solutions illustrates the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method for a simple homogeneous slope stability problem. The proposed approach is also applied to a seismic stability problem for a rockfill dam to study the influence of different failure criterions on the upper bound solutions. The results show that the seismic stability coefficients obtained using two different nonlinear failure criteria are similar but that the convergence differs significantly.

Limit analysis solutions for three dimensional undrained slopes

This paper uses numerical finite element upper and lower bound limit analysis to produce stability charts for three dimensional (3D) homogeneous and inhomogeneous undrained slopes. Although the conventional limit equilibrium method (LEM) is used more often in practice for evaluating slope stability, the accuracy of the method is often questioned due to the underlying assumptions that it makes. Using the limit theorems can not only provide a simple and useful way of analysing the stability of slopes, but also avoid the shortcomings and arbitrary assumptions under pinning the LEM. The rigorous limit analysis results in this paper were found to bracket the slope stability number to within ±9% or better and therefore can be used to benchmark for solutions from other methods. In addition, it was found that using a two dimensional (2D) analysis to analyse a 3D problem will lead to a significant difference in the factors of safety depending on the slope geometries. This is of particular relevance to any back analyses of slope failure as it will lead to an unsafe estimation of material strengths.     

Parametric studies of disturbed rock slope stability based on finite element limit analysis methods

This study employs the finite element upper bound and lower bound limit analysis methods to investigate the stability of inhomogeneous rock slopes. The differences in the stability numbers of the upper and lower bound solutions are bracketed within ±10.5% or better, and the stability numbers obtained are presented in rock slope stability charts. These stability charts can provide a convenient tool for preliminary stability designs of inhomogeneous rock slopes. Various recommended blasting damage zones are considered, and disturbance factors are used to represent damage levels. Results showed that rock mass disturbance could significantly influence the evaluation of rock slope stability.     

非线性破坏准则下边坡稳定性极限分析斜条分法

考虑坡顶均布荷载和地震效应典型情况下,将边坡滑体进行任意斜条块划分,建立了具有倾斜界面的多块体破坏模型。基于极限分析上限法和非线性摩尔-库仑破坏准则,考虑岩体内正应力的不均匀性,引入多点切线法和强度折减法推导得出边坡临界破坏状态下的安全系数Fs通用计算公式。采用序列二次规划法对安全系数Fs的目标函数进行最优化计算,并与既有研究成果进行对比分析,其结果具有较好的一致性,相对误差不超过3.565%,表明了该方法的正确性。同时对比传统单点切线法计算结果,多点切线法较单点切线法获得的边坡安全系数值偏小,表明了多点切线斜条分法偏于保守,是安全的。参数分析表明坡顶均布荷载、地震效应和非线性参数均对边坡安全系数及潜在临界滑裂面有重要影响。多点切线法引入非线性摩尔-库仑破坏准则对边坡进行稳定性极限分析,为相关研究人员提供了一种新的思路与方法。     

Seismic rock slope stability charts based on limit analysis methods

Earthquake effects are commonly considered in the stability analysis of rock slopes and other earth structures. The standard approach is often based on the conventional limit equilibrium method using equivalent Mohr–Coulomb strength parameters (c and ?) in a slip circle slope stability analysis. The purpose of this paper is to apply the finite element upper and lower bound techniques to this problem with the aim of providing seismic stability charts for rock slopes. Within the limit analysis framework, the pseudo-static method is employed by assuming a range of the seismic coefficients. Based on the latest version of Hoek–Brown failure criterion, seismic rock slope stability charts have been produced. These chart solutions bound the true stability numbers within ±9% or better and are suited to isotropic and homogeneous intact rock or heavily jointed rock masses. A comparison of the stability numbers obtained by bounding methods and the limit equilibrium method has been performed where the later was found to predict unconservative factors of safety for steeper slopes. It was also observed that the stability numbers may increase depending on the material parameters in the Hoek–Brown model. This phenomenon has been further investigated in the paper.     

Stability analysis of slopes with general nonlinear failure criterion

The upper bound method of limit analysis of perfect plasticity is applied to stability problems of slopes with a general nonlinear failure criterion. Based on the upper bound method, a numerical procedure is suggested, which converts the complex system of differential equations to an initial value problem. Using this numerical procedure, an effective numerical method, called the inverse method, suitable for the solution of slope stability problems in soil mechanics with a general nonlinear failure criterion, is presented. A general nonlinear failure criterion for soils is also suggested, from which the effects of nonlinear failure parameters on the stability of slopes are discussed.
