Modeling of nonlinear wave propagation over fringing reefs

The applicability of existing nonlinear (triad) spectral models for steep slopes (0.1–0.2) characteristic of reef environments was investigated, using both deterministic (phase-resolving) and stochastic (phased-averaged) formulations. Model performance was tested using laboratory observations of unidirectional wave transformation over steep and smooth bathymetry profiles. The models, developed for mild slopes, were implemented with minimal modifications (the inclusion of breaking parametrizations and linear steep-slope corrections) required by laboratory data. The deterministic model produced typically more accurate predictions than the stochastic one, but the phase averaged formulation proved fast enough to allow for an inverse modeling search for the optimal breaking parametrization. The effects of the additional assumptions of the stochastic approach resulted in a slower than observed evolution of the infragravity band. Despite the challenge posed by the fast wave evolution and energetic breaking characteristic to the steep reef slopes, both formulations performed overall well, and should be considered as good provisional candidates for use in numerical investigation of wave–current interaction processes on steep reefs.

Geotechnical methods of reinforcement of slopes near railroads

In order to generate well-based design decisions on reinforcement of landslide slopes and road embankment slopes, a system of combined geotechnical analysis of geological conditions is suggested which includes topographic and geophysical survey, and laboratory studies of soils using infra-red spectroscopy methods. Calculations of slopes' deflected modes are carried out with taking into account elastic and elasto-plastic behavior of soil, and the presence of supporting man-made constructions. Results of the application of the system suggested may be used as criteria for the classification of landslide slopes along permanent ways according to the degree of danger when used for transportation.     

Evaluation of factor of safety for vegetated and barren soil slopes with limit equilibrium computations

Limit equilibrium method (LEM) is the most conventional and popular technique in slope stability analysis. Location of the unique failure surface and the determination of corresponding critical factor of safety (critical-FOS) of the soil slope requires a lot of trial and research. With this amount of trial and research results, we evaluate the field of factor of safety (FOS-field), which represents the critical-FOS at a point within the domain of all possible failure surfaces. Such a field can be very important for the precise judgment of the most critical-FOS of the slope and its perturbation. This paper also presents the evaluation of the FOS-field of vegetated slopes, thus providing an analytical way to examine the effect of vegetation on the soil slope stability. We evaluated the stability of vegetated and barren soil slopes under dry and fully saturated conditions. With dry and fully saturated conditions, the behaviour of slopes in most favourable and worst conditions can be simulated. Evaluation of FOS-field for various slope geometries and conditions show that the more unstable the slope becomes, the more difficult it will be to pinpoint the location of the critical failure surface with the unique least FOS. We verified the LEM codes with finite element method (FEM) and spectral element method (SEM) codes considering a sample problem from Smith and Griffiths’ book (Smith and Griffiths 2003).     

Runoff generative process and runoff yield from arid talus mantled slopes

Previous works dealing with the influence of a stone cover on runoff yield showed that runoff, attributed to the sealing effect of the topsoil by raindrops impact, was negatively related to the per cent of stone cover and stone size. These works were conducted on gentle slopes (3–11·5 degree) with a per cent of stone cover generally lower than 50 per cent, and composed of gravels. The present study deals with the runoff yield of steep talus slopes (26–36 degree) whose per cent of stone cover is very high (90–100 per cent), composed of cobbles and boulders. Three stimulated rainstorms were performed at various rainfall. intensities and durations on each one of six plots representative of the North eastern sector of Sinai. Although the contiguous stony cover prevented surface sealing by raindrops impact, runoff developed quite quickly on most slopes, and reached at peak discharge, after approximately ten minutes, up to 56 per cent of the rainfall. Differences between plots, in time lag, peak discharge and other hydrological variables, could be attributed mainly to the properties of the upper stony layer, with stone size as the most influential factor. Contrary to previous works, a positive relationship, was obtained between stone size to runoff yield. The result is explained by the process of water concentration. Each cobble and boulder behaves, on a smaller scale, like a bare rocky surface and yields per unit area water amounts beyond the infiltration rate of the limited uncovered areas. For a given stony cover the effect of water concentration is quicker with the big blocks than with gravels. A series of graphs trying to relate theoretically the relative importance of sealing and water concentration processes in runoff generation, at various conditions of stone cover and stone size, is proposed. The graphs enable to reconcile the results of the present study with those of previous works.     

多阶多层复杂边坡稳定性的通用上限方法

极限分析上限方法在边坡稳定性评价中受到了广泛关注,但当前所取得的解析成果尚不能直接应用于解决任意多土层分布、多台阶的广义复杂层状边坡。基于组合对数螺线的旋转破坏机制,推导了具有任意坡面几何特征、任意多土层（含非水平土/岩层）边坡的外功率统一积分表达式及相应的虚功率方程,提出了多阶多层复杂边坡稳定性的通用极限分析上限方法;为克服积分式的复杂解析计算,引入了数值积分技术。在此基础上,结合最优化方法和强度折减技术,优化求解了复杂边坡的全局稳定性安全系数及相应的临界滑动面。通过多个典型算例的验证与对比分析,表明该方法具有较高的精度和广泛适用性。最后,针对典型多阶多层边坡实例,开展了上限法的深度拓展与应用研究,其结果为广义复杂层状边坡的稳定性评价提供了新思路。     

基于失稳状态耗能最小原理的预应力锚索加固边坡稳定性上限解析

基于岩土塑性极限分析上限理论的基本原理,考虑预应力锚索的加固效应,分析了单预应力锚索加固措施条件下边坡的稳定性特性,并由此探讨了多预应力锚索共同加固边坡的稳定性能量分析方法。结合强度折减技术,采用内点迭代方法和序列二次规划优化迭代法对锚固边坡安全系数目标函数进行了能量耗散最小化意义上的优化计算。典型算例的分析计算表明：锚索加固效应可以有效地提高边坡的稳定性,预应力锚索设置位置对边坡安全系数、临界滑裂面位置和锚索长度有显著影响。综合考虑锚索设置位置对边坡安全系数和锚索长度的影响,单锚索的最优设置位置应位于边坡中下部区域。采用多排锚索加固既可以保证边坡的安全储备,也可有效避免局部稳定性问题。     

Ocean Rise Instability in Coastal Clay Slopes and Possible Countermeasures: A Centrifuge Modeling Study

Increase in saturation in natural clayey slopes along coastal zones as a result of tsunamis or storm surges may cause flow slides or failures. One of the common treatments is to increase the overall stability by soil replacement and/or re-compaction, which is often difficult to implement, expensive, and, most importantly, damages the natural vegetation. In this paper, remedial effectiveness of a relatively economical and environmentally friendly method involving insertion of geotextile strips with drainage capability into natural clayey slopes is evaluated through a series of centrifuge tests. The test results demonstrate the effectiveness of the employed technique to increase the stability of slopes and their drainage capability as well as to reduce the deformations under surcharge loadings.
