  • Publication number: 20180292299
    Abstract: In a method of critical displacement forecast based on the deformation failure mechanism of slope, a sliding surface displacement, a calculation based on status stability factors and a slope surface displacement are determined, and applied for forecast based on a thrust-type slope deformation mechanism, a key compartment division, a relation between stress and strain mechanics properties of sliding surface of geo-material, and an analysis of evolution characteristics at different points of the sliding surface. The method provides advantages of determining deformation values at different points of a sliding surface, a slope body and a slope surface during slope failures; describing the process of a progressive failure, deformations and force changes of a slope; combining slope monitoring values to perform the stability analysis and the calculation of the magnitude of the stability factors in different deformation statuses of the slope; and assessing the durability of protective measures to the slope.

  • Publication number: 20170102303
    Abstract: A method of calculating the potential sliding surface of the progressive failure of slope is provided, which is also abbreviated as a failure angle rotation method. The method performs the search calculation of the potential sliding surface of the slope to determine the potential sliding surface, under the assumption that the geological material failure satisfies the condition of the angle between the maximum shear stress surface and the minimum principal stress axis corresponding to the critical stress state being (45° +?/2), and based on the fact that the principal stress directions at different positions are rotated while the slope is applied different external loads and gravity loads. The failure path is varied with the change of the stress during the failure process to perform the solution for the potential sliding surface of the slope based on numerical calculation.

  • Publication number: 20160238475
    Abstract: A method of measurement of stress and strain whole process material parameter by using method for hydrostatic pressure unloading is disclosed, which is directed to the cyclic test of loading and unloading. With the assumption that only the deviator stress generates damage to the sample, a test method of the hydrostatic pressure unloading is invented in order to calculate mechanical parameters in different stages of stress and strain. Nine mechanical parameters can be calculated in connection with hexahedral pores connecting samples in the true triaxial test. Six mechanical parameters can be calculated for non-pores connecting samples. Nine mechanical parameters can be calculated in connection with hexahedral pores connecting samples in the traditional triaxial test. Six mechanical parameters can be calculated for non-pores connecting samples. The specific expressions and test methods are provided.
