Buckling Failure Analysis And Numerical Manifold Method Simulation For Malvern Hills Slope, Qiu-Sheng Wang, Rui-Tao Zhang, Hong Zheng

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Based on the energy equilibrium, the computational formula of critical buckling length of multi-layer rock slope is derived. Considering interlayer and cross joints, the numerical manifold method is used to simulate the buckling evolution process of Malvern hills slope in New Zealand, and the theoretical calculation and numerical simulation results are compared with the field measured data. The results show that numerical manifold method can accurately simulate slope buckling failure process by preforming interlayer and cross joints. The process of slope buckling deformation and instability failure can be divided into interlayer dislocation-slight bending, slope toe traction-sharp uplift and accelerated sliding-landslide …

Post-Failure Analysis Of Landslides In Spatially Varying Soil Deposits Using Stochastic Material Point Method, Guo-Tao Ma, Mohammad Rezania, Mohaddeseh Mousavi Nezhad, Bu-Tao Shi

Rock and Soil Mechanics

This paper presents the probabilistic analysis of landslides in spatially variable soil deposits, modeled by a stochastic framework which integrates the random field theory with generalized interpolation material point method (GIMP). Random fields are simulated using Cholesky matrix decomposition (CMD) method and Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method, which represent material properties discretized into sets of random soil shear strength variables with statistical properties. The approach is applied to landslides in clayey deposits under undrained conditions with random fields of undrained shear strength parameters, in order to quantify the uncertainties of post-failure behavior at different scales of fluctuation (SOF) and coefficients …

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Considering the influence of soil thickness, the vertical vibration response of rigid strip footings resting on viscoelastic soil is theoretically investigated. Based on the assumptions for footing and foundation with rigid bedrock boundary condition, employing the method of Fourier transform, this mixed-boundary value problem is expressed as a pair of dual integral equations, which are transformed to a set of linear equations by means of Jacobi orthogonal polynomials and solved numerically. The solution in this study is compared with the solution of elastic half-space in the literature to verify its rationality. The results demonstrate that the attenuation of ground waves …

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Soil tends to have nonlinear compression characteristics, and the consolidation laws of soil are different under different compression characteristics. Considering the nonlinear characteristics of soil, variable load and continuous drainage boundary conditions, a one-dimensional consolidation equation is established. Its solutions are obtained by using the unconditionally stable finite difference method and semi-analytical method, and the reliability of the two methods is verified by the degradation of continuous drainage boundary condition and the comparison of the two solutions. Based on the solution of finite difference method, the influences of interface parameter, load parameters and nonlinear parameter on soil consolidation are analyzed …

Dominant Partitioning Method Of Rock Mass Discontinuity Based On Dbscan Selective Clustering Ensemble, Hua-Jin Zhang, Shun-Chuan Wu, Long-Qiang Han

Rock and Soil Mechanics

For the problems existing in the traditional single discontinuity (structural plane) based clustering model, such as the risk of misclassification or omission and the inability to identify noise and isolated values, a dominant partitioning method of rock mass discontinuity based on selective clustering ensemble using density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the spatial coordinate transformation is performed with the attitude of discontinuity, and the sine of the angle between the unit normal vectors is defined as similarity measurement. Then, a certain number of different base clusters are constructed based on the DBSCAN algorithm, with …

Rock and Soil Mechanics

In the future, the extraterrestrial human activities, such as resources exploitation and base construction beyond the Earth need the aid of geotechnical engineering technology. Currently, there are only two approaches for humans to obtain the rock samples beyond the Earth: sample-return activities by spacecraft and meteorite investigation. Meteorites are rare, expensive, small and arbitrary in shape, so it is difficult to process them into standard rock samples required by MTS and other traditional macroscale rock mechanical tests. In this paper, a novel technique for measuring mechanical property of small-size meteorites was developed based on microscale rock mechanics experiments (micro-RME) and …

It is of great significance for the safe construction of shale gas tunnels to deeply understand the evolution law of permeability of laminated shale with macro fractures under cyclic disturbance. The permeability evolution of shale specimens containing axial beddings and axial macro fractures under cyclic axial stress and cyclic confining pressure was experimentally studied using the GCTS rock mechanics testing system. The results show that the permeability of shale specimens containing axial beddings did not change significantly during the loading and unloading of axial stress, but it decreased in a negatively exponential form with the increasing confining pressure and increased …

The direct measurement of unsaturated permeability coefficient is costly and the accuracy cannot be fully guaranteed. Therefore, the establishment of a simple and practical prediction model for saturated/unsaturated permeability coefficient based on Darcy’s law has important theoretical and practical significance. In this paper, a self-made unsaturated permeability device was used to test the unsaturated permeability coefficient of Yan’an compacted loess with different dry densities, and the pore size distribution curve was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance technology. Based on the characteristics of pore distribution, Darcy’s theorem is differentiated, and the relationship model between pore ratio and saturated/unsaturated permeability coefficient is …
