Failure and flow development of a complex slide: the 1993 Sesa landslide

Large landslides are often characterised by complex activity resulting from their ability to suddenly change behaviour. In fact, these landslides can pass from a slump to a flow characterised by relatively high mobility. This characteristic is a cause of extremely high severity and hazard in areas affected by such phenomena. An interesting case of a large slide in glacial deposits, which occurred in 1993 in the Valcamonica of the Italian Alps, is presented. Different approaches both to characterise the coarse frictional materials involved in the slide and to model the slide initiation and its evolution are adopted. The initial slide mass had a volume of almost 2 Mm³ and after its initial sliding motion along the slope, flowed for about 7 km down the main valley stream. Voight's method has been used to analyse measured slope displacements recorded for a few years before the slope failure. This analysis provided evidence that different times of failure could have been predicted beforehand by rigorous examination of the available data. Laboratory tests and image/processing techniques have been performed to characterise the landslide material as resembling a “bimrock” (block in matrix material). Slope stability analyses have been performed and a dynamic modelling method has been tested on the flow by comparing its results to those obtained by analysis of eyewitness statements and field observations on the mudline left by the flow. Finally, existing empirical approaches for hazard assessment on an alluvial fan have been applied and modified to produce a hazard zonation map for the alluvial fan area by considering maximum expected discharge, local geometry of the channel and the possibility of channel occlusion and subsequent avulsion.     

三维边坡稳定分析的有限元弹塑性迭代解法

针对已知滑动面的三维边坡稳定分析问题,在塑性力学上限定理的基础上,提出了求解安全系数的三维有限元弹塑性迭代解法。对于滑动面的非线性特性,采用常规的矩形（平面）或立方体（空间）单元来描述,应力则符合相关联流动法则的Mohr-Coulomb强度准则。通过对弹塑性增量理论中流动法则的分析,证明了当结构达到极限状态时,滑动面内切向应力的方向与滑体的主滑方向一致,说明最终以滑动面内的切向应力作为滑体滑动力的有效性。通过迭代的方式,逐步降低滑动面材料的抗剪参数,使边坡达到极限状态,不仅快速求得了滑动面的安全系数,且能够得到边坡在接近临界失稳状态时滑动面内切向应力的分布情况和边坡的变形规律,为边坡采取加固措施提供了参考依据。最后,以椭球面滑动和楔形滑动2个经典算例和工程实例,验证了该方法的有效性和正确性。     

Slope stabilization in difficult conditions: the case study of a debris slide in NW Italian Alps

A case study of a debris slide (estimated volume of about 35,000 m³) is described in this paper. This slide occurred in April 2009 in the North Western Italian Alps (Aosta valley) and damaged the SR25 road along the Valgrisenche valley. Ground investigations started with severe safety and logistic issues being posed. Given the need to open as soon as possible the road, the design of the landslide stabilization works was carried out using a “design as you go” approach. The stabilization measures were conceived to be flexible in order to allow for changes and integration during construction, in line with the progressive refinement of the geological–geotechnical slope model being developed. Back analysis by means of the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and the finite element method (FEM) was used. Groundwater level rise following heavy rainfall and spring snow melting was found to be the main cause of the debris slide. The stabilization works were designed by using both the LEM and FEM methods. The stability conditions of the engineered slope were assessed based on the available performance monitoring data.

Numerical Analysis of the 650,000 m<Superscript>2</Superscript> Åknes Rock Slope based on Measured Displacements and Geotechnical Data

The unstable 650,000 m² Åknes rock slope (Western Norway) poses a hazard, as a sudden failure may cause a destructive tsunami in the fjord. In this study the slope was divided into blocks based on displacements measured at the slope surface. Discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) showed that three or four blocks in the upper half may be considered as potential subareas that may fail catastrophically. The lower half may be divided into two or three blocks, but more limited data introduces more uncertainty into block definition. The Universal Distinct Element code (UDEC) was used for two-dimensional (2D) stability analyses. By varying fracture geometry, fracture friction, and groundwater conditions within reasonable limits based on site-specific data a number of possible models were compared. The conclusions show that models that were unstable to great depths were in closer agreement with shear strength parameters derived from an earlier study than models that were unstable to smaller depths. The length (depth) of the outcropping fracture, along which shear displacements are shown to occur, plays an important role. A (shallow) slide at 30 m, in which displacements have been documented by borehole measurements, will reduce the stability at greater depths. Increased groundwater pressure is demonstrated to be less critical for very deep slope instability. The results of the DDA and UDEC modelling will be useful for planning of future investigations, interpretation of the subsequent results, further development of the early warning system and in the tsunami modelling.

强度折减法在高含水滑坡稳定性分析中的应用

文章依据滑坡体岩体破碎、地下水丰富、坡体含水量高、滑坡面积大、厚度小、稳定性差等特点,选取青海省麦秀山1^#滑坡为例。结合麦秀山地区的工程地质特点,利用FLAC-3D有限差分程序,基于强度折减法对该滑坡进行了稳定性分析。通过对滑体岩土体强度指标的折减,模拟地下水对岩土体的影响,当边坡的塑性区由坡脚贯通至坡顶、坡体上特征点的位移值产生突变,且无限制的增长时,认为边坡达到临界破坏状态,此时的强度折减系数即为滑坡的稳定系数,同时可得到滑坡失稳破坏的潜在滑动带,以揭示滑坡的失稳破坏机理。分析计算表明：强度折减法不仅能够模拟出滑坡渐进破坏的过程,而且所求得的稳定系数更符合滑坡的实际状态,在滑坡稳定性分析中具有明显的优势。

结合岩石节理面非线性Barton-Bandis破坏准则,探讨了将Barton-Bandis破坏准则参数转化为线性Mohr-Coulomb破坏准则抗剪强度参数的两种常用方法,通过实例分析了各方法的优劣。推导了加锚单岩石节理面控制的平面滑动岩体边坡抗滑稳定性安全系数计算式,开展了锚固参数分析。研究表明：相对于采用等效线性拟合法或切线等效法获取Mohr-Coulomb抗剪强度参数而言,直接应用Barton-Bandis破坏准则计算节理面控制的岩石边坡稳定性更为直观和简便;随着结构面基本摩擦角、结构面粗糙度系数和结构面壁面有效抗压强度的增大,边坡安全系数逐步提高,且结构面基本摩擦角和粗糙度系数对边坡安全系数的影响程度更为显著;锚索锚固力越大,边坡抗滑稳定性越好,而锚索设置角度越大,边坡抗滑稳定性越低,锚索角度设置不当将明显减小锚固效应的有效性。

考虑桩间土体抗滑作用的单排抗滑桩受力计算方法

为了充分考虑桩间距范围内滑体对抗滑桩受力的影响,从单排抗滑桩加固边坡的整体稳定角度出发,在采用传递系数法分析指定设计安全系数情况下抗滑桩的内力时,提出对一个桩间距范围内的加固坡体进行整体分析,将抗滑桩所在部位单独划分条块,该条块包括桩体受荷段及其两侧桩间距范围内的滑体。推导了与此分析模型相应的桩体受荷段底端内力计算公式,并给出了在滑坡推力线性分布条件下作用于受荷段的净滑坡推力计算表达式。分析结果显示,在不考虑与完全考虑受荷段两侧桩间距范围内滑体抗力作用时,得到是桩体内力及位移的上、下边界值。实例分析进一步表明,理论分析与数值模拟结果具有良好的一致性。所提出的方法比传统方法更有利于抗滑桩设计的经济性。

Investigation of the failure mechanism and stabilization of a landslide in weathered tuffite,Giresun, northeastern Turkey

This study investigates the causes and failure mechanism of the Aksu landslide that occurred during the construction of the Giresun–Espiye road between KM: 1 + 030–1 + 170 in northern Turkey and recommends proper stabilization techniques. For the purpose of investigating the causes and mechanism of this slope failure, engineering geological mapping, geotechnical investigation and rock mass characterization were performed. From top to bottom, weathered tuffite, tuffite, flysch, and dacitic tuffite were the major units in the study area. The disturbance of the slope by the excavations performed at the toe of the slope (i.e., due to the foundation excavation for the Tünel restaurant building and for the road cut) led to a “translational slide”. The “translational slide” occurred in completely weathered tuffite due to the disturbance of the stability of the slope by the excavations performed at the toe of the slope, particularly for the foundation excavation of the Tünel restaurant building and for the road cut along the Giresun–Espiye road. The rise in the groundwater level was also another important factor that has contributed to the occurrence of the landslide. After establishing the geometry of the landslide in detail, the shear strength parameters of the failure surface were determined by the back analysis method. Sensitivity analyses were performed and landslide failure mechanisms were modeled to quantify the contributing factors that have caused the formation of the Aksu landslide. The influence of an earthquake was investigated through pseudostatic slope stability analysis. Toe buttressing, ground water drainage, and surface water drainage alternatives were considered for stabilizing the slope.     

基于Morgenstern Price法和强度折减法的边坡稳定性对比分析

应用Morgenstern-Price法和强度折减法,对云南省宣威市万家口子水电站附近的九子崩塌堆积体的主滑体进行稳定性分析,考虑了正常蓄水位、库水位下降和地震作用时的正常蓄水位、库水位下降4种工程情况。结果表明：Morgenstern Price法所得稳定系数随着蓄水位的下降而减小,在考虑地震作用的情况下,稳定系数也相应降低;强度折减法所得数据则不一样,蓄水位不同时,稳定系数则变化不大。相同蓄水位情况下,考虑地震时稳定系数有所减小,强度折减理论对于简单的均质土坡可能会得到与极限平衡法接近的稳定系数和滑动面,但对于非均质（如成层）土坡,则会有较大的差异性。Morgenstern-Price法使用条分法对滑动岩土体进行受力分析,针对的是人为假定的土体极限平衡条件,不能提供边坡的位移信息,需在计算中事先假定出若干个滑动面;强度折减法通过降低材料的强度参数来达到极限平衡状态,能够考虑土体的应力-应变关系,同时能给出边坡的位移信息,但是缺乏统一的边坡达到极限破坏的判断标准。2种方法都可为边坡稳定性提供有效的分析与评价。     

山区高速公路边坡勘察设计常见问题分析

在山区高公路上经常遇到顺向坡、滑坡蠕变体和陡反倾坡。对于顺向坡,是否稍陡倾的坡体就应加固,而稍缓倾坡体可以不加固,边坡专家根据现场情况给出相应的工程措施主要是基于顺层边坡中的主要控制层位、相关特性和场地地质条件得出缓坡预加固、稍陡坡整体稳定的结论。从红砂岩显示倾角、倾向异常着手,通过多方面的分析调查,该岩层的特性以及反分析潜在滑动面力学特征,分析判断该切坡体为一蠕滑变形体,进而强调采用抗滑桩预先加固的工程处理方式,通过实际切坡变形破坏证明边坡专家的分析判断和工程措施的正确性。对于红砂岩反倾陡边坡,由于存在软弱夹层和顺坡向节理的切割,边坡岩性强度随雨水渗透软化,特别是现场有类似自然层倾倒变形特征,需要采取工程加固措施。边坡专家能根据工程场地性质,综合分析控制层随时间变化特征及对稳定性起控制性因素,能预先提出合理的工程措施,避免或减少工程损失,达到事半功倍的效果。     

Earthquake Stability Analysis of Rock Slopes: a Case Study

Stability analysis of Surabhi landslide in the Dehradun and Tehri districts of Uttaranchal located in Mussoorie, India, has been simulated numerically using the distinct element method focusing on the weak zones (fracture). This is an active landslide on the main road toward the town centre, which was triggered after rainfall in July–August 1998. Understanding the behaviour of this landslide will be helpful for planning and implementing mitigation measures. The first stage of the study includes the total area of the landslide. The area identified as the zone of detachment is considered the most vulnerable part of the landslide. Ingress of water and increased pore pressures result in reduced mobilized effective frictional resistance, causing the top layer of the zone of detachment to start moving. The corresponding total volume of rock mass that is potentially unstable is estimated to 11.58 million m³. The second stage of this study includes a 2D model focussing only on the zone of detachment. The result of the analyses including both static and dynamic loading indicates that most of the total displacement observed in the slide model is due to the zone of detachment. The discontinuum modelling in the present study gives reasonable agreement with actual observations and has improved understanding of the stability of the slide slope.     

基于瑞典条分法的应变软化边坡稳定性评价方法

引入简化的应变协调方程,基于瑞典条分法的基本原理,提出一个新的能够考虑土的剪应力-应变关系的应变软化边坡稳定性简化分析方法。推导了该方法的计算公式,提出了具体算法并编制了计算程序,分析了不同应变软化特性的边坡稳定性。实际应用表明,该方法简单可靠、效率较高,计算所采用的分条数量和初始滑裂面位置对计算结果精度的影响均很小。应变软化边坡的安全系数介于基于峰值强度和残余强度的极限平衡条分法计算结果之间,具体数值不仅取决于土的抗剪强度指标,还与其剪应力-应变关系密切相关。     

垃圾体内部与衬里界面组合破坏稳定分析方法研究

垃圾填埋场沿底坡和背坡衬里界面发生平移破坏的工程实例较多,也有破坏面沿垃圾体内部和底坡的组合破坏形式,相应的计算分析方法有待完善。对组合破坏,根据垃圾体内部破坏面为库仑主动破坏面和组合破坏面上各点安全系数相同的假设,由刚体极限平衡条件,建立组合破坏的稳定计算方法。运用双楔体和组合破坏稳定分析方法对算例和Kettleman Hills填埋场工程实例进行计算分析。结果表明：双楔体法计算得到的最危险平移滑动破坏安全系数大于组合破坏最小安全系数;最危险破坏面是组合破坏面;对Kettleman Hills填埋场,组合滑动面也是可能的滑动破坏面。由此可见,组合破坏是垃圾填埋场可能的破坏形式之一,在进行垃圾填埋体滑动稳定分析计算时应进行组合破坏形式的计算分析。
