基于强度折减法的三维边坡稳定性与破坏机制

基于强度折减技术的三维弹塑性有限元法是当前较为有效的边坡稳定性评价方法,但很少应用于复杂地质环境及负载条件下的三维边坡稳定性与破坏机制分析。拓展这一方法,利用典型算例,探讨了单元尺寸、边界条件、土体强度、局部超载和地震荷载等因素对三维边坡稳定性及潜在滑动面的影响;在此基础上,着重研究含软弱夹层及地下水的复杂三维边坡在负载条件（坡顶局部超载及地震荷载）下的破坏模式及滑动机制。结果表明：随着黏聚力的增加,潜在滑坡体的剪出位置远离坡脚,滑坡后沿远离坡肩,滑坡深度加深;坡顶超载强度较低时,边坡表现为整体破坏模式,而高超载强度下表现为局部地基破坏;考虑地下水后边坡的稳定性显著下降,且潜在滑动面加深,滑坡体体积有所增大。含软弱夹层的三维边坡,其潜在滑动面呈折线型,当受超载作用时,其破坏模式和滑动机制与地震荷载作用下不同:前者为竖向剪切和水平错动的联合作用,而后者为软弱夹层水平错动起主导作用。     

A procedure for the design and analysis of geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes

Summary A procedure for the stability analysis and design of geosynthetic reinforced soil slopes over a firm foundation is described. Firstly the unreinforced slope is analysed, and for this a circular failure method is used which allows a surcharge load to be taken into account. Any method of slip circle analysis could be used to identify the coordinates of the centre of the slip circle, its radius and the minimum factor of safety. In this study, both internal and external stability analysis of the reinforced slope is presented. Internal stability deals with the resistance to pullout failure within the reinforced soil zone resulting from the soil/reinforcement interaction. The external stability is considered by an extension of the bilinear wedge method which allows a slip plane to propagate horizontally along a reinforcing sheet. The results for total tensile force, internal and external stability are presented in the form of charts.For given properties of soil and slope geometry, the required strength of the geosynthetic and the length of reinforcement at the top and bottom of the slope can be determined using these charts. The results are compared with the published design charts by Schmertmannet al. (1987).     

地震效应和坡顶超载对均质土坡稳定性影响的拟静力分析

基于强度折减技术和极限分析上限定理,假定机动容许的速度场破坏面,考虑坡顶超载、水平和竖向地震效应影响推导了边坡稳定性安全系数的计算表达式。采用序列二次规划迭代方法（和内点迭代方法）对边坡安全系数目标函数进行能量耗散最小化意义上的优化计算,与多个算例的对比验证了其方法和程序计算的正确性;对影响土质边坡动态稳定性的一些因素进行了参数分析,分析表明：随着边坡倾角?、坡顶超载q、水平和竖向地震效应影响系数的增大,边坡稳定性安全系数显著下降;随着坡顶超载q、水平地震效应影响系数kh的增大、竖向地震效应影响系数kv的减小,边坡的潜在滑动面越来越深,潜在破坏范围越来越大。竖向地震效应对边坡稳定性也有一定影响,强震条件下的设计计算必须考虑竖向地震效应的影响。     

坡顶荷载作用下岩质边坡弯曲倾倒破坏分析

车辆、坡顶堆载等造成的坡顶荷载是影响边坡稳定性的一个重要因素。首先,基于叠合悬臂梁模型和极限平衡理论,建立了坡顶荷载作用下岩质反倾边坡的力学分析模型,推导了坡顶荷载作用下边坡的剩余倾倒力和剩余滑移力计算公式,给出了岩层破坏模式判别条件,并通过大型数学分析软件Matlab将分析方法程序化;然后,通过与离散元模拟结果进行对比分析,验证了所提分析模型的准确性;最后,基于所提分析方法,进行了不同参数的敏感性分析。研究结果表明,坡顶荷载对岩层剩余力的影响较大,但对岩层破坏模式的影响不大;对边坡稳定性较为敏感的切坡角度为50°和岩层倾角为58°,当小于该值时,边坡稳定性将显著提高;层间黏聚力对自重边坡稳定性影响较大;数值模拟与理论分析得到的安全系数较为一致,验证了考虑坡顶荷载作用下弯曲倾倒破坏分析理论解的正确性,可为类似工程稳定性分析提供参考。     

某反倾页岩边坡破坏面确定及其稳定性分析

破坏面确定是边坡稳定性分析的基础,存在各级滑动面。不同结构类型边坡,其确定方法也随之不同。对于反倾软岩边坡,不能通过不连续面空间展布分析确定其破坏面。联合FLAC3D和极限平衡方法分析具有节理块体切割破坏模式的某反倾页岩边坡稳定性。在野外调查基础上分析边坡的变形破坏机制,应用FLAC3D研究其应力、应变等值线及相应增量等值线图确定边坡潜在最危险滑动面和次级滑动面,计算其稳定性系数。在防护设计中考虑次级滑动面,针对边坡危险区域分析其防护效果。应用强度折减计算两危险区域稳定性系数,表明防护后边坡整体稳定性较好。该方法对反倾软岩边坡的稳定性分析有一定的借鉴价值,在防护设计中考虑次级滑动面的影响具有一定的实际指导意义。     

Determination of the critical slip surface in slope stability computations

The analysis of the stability of slopes using limiting equilibrium considerations necessitates the determination of the critical slip surface which yields the minimal factor of safety. The numerous methods currently available for slope stability analysis provide a procedure for assigning a factor of safety to a given slip surface, but do not consider the problem of identifying the critical conditions. This paper presents an effective minimization procedure based on dynamic programming by which the minimal factor of safety, and the corresponding surface, are determined simultaneously. This procedure SSDP (Slope Stability by Dynamic Programming), couples the minimization scheme with Spencer's method of slope stability analysis. It may be applied to slopes of any geometry, layering, pore pressure and external load distributions. No arbitrary restrictions are placed on the shape of the slip surfaces, and the analysis satisfies all equilibrium equations. Application of the procedure to slope stability problems reported in the literature shows that for a given slip surface the procedure yields factors of safety which are almost identical to those reported, but in every case a more critical slip surface, with a lower factor of safety, may be found.     

The effects of method of generating circular slip surfaces on determining the critical slip surface by particle swarm optimization

The main objectives of slope stability analysis are evaluating factor of safety for a given slip surface and determining the critical slip surface for a given slope. Factor of safety is usually calculated by limit equilibrium method. The main steps to determine the critical slip surface are generating trial slip surfaces as probable solutions and searching among them to determine the one with the lowest factor of safety. Although the process of searching the critical slip surface received much attention between researchers, the significance of method of generating slip surfaces is seldom addressed in the literature. The authors believe that this ignorance can affect the accuracy of the results of slope stability analysis even in the simplest problems with circular slip surfaces. Consequently, this paper focused on the method of generating circular trial slip surfaces as the simplest mechanism of sliding and considered its effect on determining the critical slip surface. A new method of generating circular slip surface was presented, which is more efficient and less restricted than the conventional method. A computer program was also developed to determine the critical slip surface of slopes by using particle swarm optimization. The performances of the proposed method and developed computer program were verified during comparative studies and sensitivity analysis. Based on the results, the effect of method of generating circular slip surfaces on determining the critical slip surface was confirmed successfully. In all considered problems, the proposed method of generating circular slip surfaces led to the lower values of factor of safety compare with the conventional method.     

禁忌搜索在确定土坡危险滑动面中的应用

在土坡稳定的计算过程中常采用经典的极限平衡法。对每一条可能的圆弧滑动面通过条分法计算其安全系数,最小的安全系数就代表了土坡的实际安全系数。在此过程中,滑动面的圆心坐标和半径可以视为安全系数的函数,滑动面的圆心坐标和半径是自变量,安全系数就是函数值。这样,土坡安全系数的计算过程实际上是对安全系数这个函数求极值的过程。通过将土坡的安全系数视为圆心坐标和滑弧半径的函数,应用连续变量的禁忌搜索技术计算土坡稳定安全系数,提高土坡稳定计算的可靠性。     

确定边坡潜在滑面的块体理论方法及稳定性分析

基于复杂边坡一般由多种岩性组成,且其稳定性往往受岩体结构控制,加之边坡滑面的逐步形成特点,本文提出了采用块体理论确定复杂边坡滑面位置方法,并采用Sarma极限平衡法及其它滑面形状分析了某大型边坡工程的稳定性,验证了所提方法的正确性。     

基于MPGA的复杂应力状态边坡稳定性分析

极限平衡法在边坡稳定性分析中处于主导地位,该算法通常建立在一定的假设之上,没有考虑边坡土体的非线性应力-应变关系,不能用于未达到极限状态以及加固后边坡的稳定性分析。为了解决以上问题,将有限元计算与多种群遗传算法（MPGA）相结合,建立一种基于MPGA的复杂应力状态边坡稳定性分析通用模型,通过数值应力场求解安全系数,并为多种群遗传算法构建适应度函数;再利用多种群遗传算法为安全系数的计算提供滑移面。为了保证分析的高效、合理,根据滑移面发展趋势,动态产生初始滑移面,并增加一个滑移面约束条件。最后,通过均质边坡和软弱夹层边坡两个典型算例分析验证了该方法的合理性;通过分析土钉加固的软弱夹层边坡,证明了该方法可用于加固等复杂应力状态边坡的稳定性分析。     

滑带土抗剪强度参数的三维反分析

以滑面正应力修正模式的三维边坡稳定性分析方法为基础,建立了确定滑带土抗剪强度参数的三维反分析模型。先对滑坡体的稳定性进行调查评估,确定滑坡的安全系数与三维滑面的几何尺寸;然后,通过对滑面正应力进行合理假定与修正,建立了平衡方程,以强度参数为未知数,利用数学方法并结合试验、经验等手段求解出抗剪强度参数。该模型克服了二维反分析将会高估滑带土的抗剪强度参数的缺陷,而且计算过程简单,易于编程实现。两个简单算例表明,三维反分析模型可以考虑三维滑体的空间效应,得到的抗剪强度参数更真实、更符合实际情况,为滑坡治理提供参考。     

Effect of Surcharge on the Stability of Anchored Rock Slope with Water Filled Tension Crack under Seismic Loading Condition

In this paper, an analytical expression is derived for the factor of safety of the rock slope incorporating most of the practically occurring destabilizing forces as well as the external stabilizing force through an anchoring system. The slope stability is analyzed as a two-dimensional problem, considering a slice of unit thickness through the slope and assuming negligible resistance to sliding at the lateral boundaries of the sliding block. A detailed parametric study is presented to investigate the effect of surcharge on the stability of the rock slope for practical ranges of governing parameters such as inclination of the slope face, inclination of the failure plane, depth of tension crack, depth of water in tension crack, shear strength parameters of the material at the failure plane, unit weight of rock, stabilizing force and its inclination, and seismic load. For the range of parameters considered in the present study, it is found that the factor of safety of the rock slope decreases with increase in surcharge; the rate of decrease being relatively higher for lower values of surcharge. It is also observed that for a specific surcharge, the factor of safety depends significantly on all other parameters, except for unit weight of rock and higher values of inclination of stabilizing force to the normal at the failure plane. For any combination of these variables, the surcharge plays a vital role in the stability. A perfectly stable slope at relatively low surcharge can become unsafe with the increase in surcharge. The deterioration in the stability can be quite rapid, depending on the combination of the factors under consideration. The analysis and the general expression proposed herein can be used to carry out a quantitative assessment of the stability of the rock slopes.     

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。     

基于交替变量局部梯度法对土质边坡的三维稳定性分析

临界滑动面的获得是土质边坡稳定性分析中一个必要的过程,然而现有分析方法难以保证该临界滑面的准确性,而且部分分析方法在计算过程中会陷入局部最小值陷阱。基于单变量方法和最速梯度法,提出了交替变量局部梯度法,该方法能够突破最优化方法应用在边坡稳定性分析上的瓶颈。首先,通过斯宾塞极限平衡方法和网格搜索法（或者其他确定临界滑面的方法）,获得边坡初始椭球状临界滑面;其次,在该滑面上布置若干节点作为变量,目标函数为安全系数Fs关于空间节点坐标Zi的方程,为了使目标函数快速降低,沿负梯度方向循环优化每个节点,当满足一定精度要求时,即可获得三维土质边坡非圆弧状临界滑动面;最后,通过算例证明该方法可行,计算结果可靠。     

基于A^＊算法的边坡稳定分析方法

岩质边坡的失稳大都是沿各软弱结构面而发生的,其滑动面往往是软弱结构面的组合,呈阶梯状.岩石边坡中存在大量的随机结构面,从中找出抗剪力最小的滑裂面是边坡工程中的一个研究方向.在岩体结构面调查统计的基础上,用随机网络模拟再现结构面的空间分布,在此基础上应用A*算法,搜索出岩石边坡的临界滑裂面,并对临界滑裂面上的边坡体任意斜条分,与Sarma分析方法相结合,形成一种改进的分析岩石边坡稳定性的方法—— Sarma-A*分析法,通过工程实例验证该方法的合理性.     

Numerical modelling of soil nails in loose fill slope under surcharge loading

A plane–strain numerical model has been developed to mimic a nailed loose fill slope under surcharge loading. The model has been used to back-analyse a field test that was conducted to examine the behaviour of soil nails in loose fill slopes under surcharge loading. Incremental elasto-plastic analyses coupled with pore water diffusion have been performed to study the internal deformation, water content redistribution in the soil, and the performance of the soil nails during and after the application of surcharge loading. The model parameters describing the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the nailed slope were obtained from field or laboratory tests. Different modelling techniques and boundary conditions for mimicking soil–nail interaction in loose fill material have been examined. Comparisons between numerical predictions and field measurements demonstrate that a new interfacial model, denoted as the embedded bond–slip interface model, is more suitable for mimicking the interfacial behaviour. Despite the simplicity of the numerical model, the predicted responses are in close agreement with the field test results, in particular the mobilisation and distribution of nail forces in response to surcharge loading. Both the numerical and the field test results suggest that soil nails are capable of increasing the overall stability of a loose fill slope for the loading conditions considered in this study. The increase in confining stress along the soil nails near the surcharge area is central to the overall stabilising mechanism. On the contrary, the nail forces mobilised near the nail heads are much smaller, indicating that the beneficial effect of having a structural grillage system at the slope face is limited for the range of surcharge pressures considered in this study.

A Simple Monte Carlo Method for Locating the Three-dimensional Critical Slip Surface of a Slope

Based on the assumption of the plain-strain problem, various optimization or random search methods have been developed for locating the critical slip surfaces in slope-stability analysis, but none of such methods is applicable to the 3D case. In this paper, a simple Monte Carlo random simulation method is proposed to identify the 3D critical slip surface. Assuming the initial slip to be the lower part of a slip ellipsoid, the 3D critical slip surface is located by means of a minimized 3D safety factor. A column-based 3D slope stability analysis model is used to calculate this factor. In this study, some practical cases of known minimum safety factors and critical slip surfaces in 2D analysis are extended to 3D slope problems to locate the critical slip surfaces. Compared with the 2D result, the resulting 3D critical slip surface has no apparent difference in terms of only cross section, but the associated 3D safety factor is definitely higher.     

Two Methods for Predicting Reliability Index and Critical Probabilistic Slip Surface of Soil Slopes

Two methods of reliability analysis of soil slopes are studied, and the representative flow charts of both methods are illustrated. Method 1 can predict the reliability index and the critical probabilistic slip surface directly and it is computational efficient, but it needs the development of new codes for integrating the reliability analysis code and the slope stability code. Method 2 makes the reliability analysis code call the slope stability analysis code directly, and each code can be considered as an intact part. The main result of Method 2 is the reliability index of soil slope. Combined with the proposed method for locating the critical slip surface, Method 2 can also predict the probabilistic slip surface. Although Method 2 needs much more callings of the subprogram of slope stability analysis code, it needs not the developing of new computer program. Thus, Method 2 is easy to use and can be applied to different reliability analysis methods and slope stability analysis methods.     

水力和超载条件下锚固岩石边坡动态稳定性拟静力分析

基于极限平衡理论,综合考虑水力条件、坡顶超载、地震荷载效应和锚固效应对岩石边坡进行了全面的稳定性分析。计算给出了多影响因素条件下岩石边坡稳定性安全系数的表达式,并重点分析了几种相关参数组合对岩石边坡稳定性的影响。分析表明,坡顶张拉裂缝积水、地下水渗流作用、滑面出流缝被堵塞、地震影响效应不利于岩石边坡抗滑稳定性,而锚索锚固效应则对提高边坡抗滑稳定性有积极作用;坡顶张拉裂缝积水、滑面出流缝被堵塞、水平向地震影响效应都不利于岩石边坡抗倾覆稳定性,但锚索锚固效应、坡顶超载、与竖直方向地震效应则对提高边坡抗倾覆稳定性有益。最后针对工程实际,提出了相应的工程建议。
