Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of snow slope experimental devices, in particular to an experimental device and method for simulating deformation and failure of snow slopes. Background Art
[0002] Granular slopes are a common type of slope in the western alpine mountainous areas. They have a loose structure and are extremely prone to instability and failure. The stability and protection measures of granular slopes have always been technical issues of special concern in engineering construction. Especially for alpine mountainous areas with long-term snow cover, with the gradual increase of human activities in alpine mountainous areas and global warming, avalanche disasters often occur. In this process, the properties of soil particles change, causing the stability of granular slopes to gradually be destroyed and eventually become unstable. Therefore, studying the impact of avalanche disasters and snow loads on the stability of granular slopes is of great and practical significance.
[0003] In the existing technology, there is a lack of equipment for studying the impact of avalanche disasters and snow loads on the stability of granular slopes. Therefore, we propose a test device and method for simulating the deformation and failure of snow slopes. Summary of the Invention

One side of the horizontal plate 2 is connected to the support rod 7 by a hinge, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 3 is connected to one end of the inclined plate 8 by a hinge, and the other end of the inclined plate 8 is connected to the support rod 7 by a buckle. When the inclined plate 8 changes its angle with the bottom plate 3, the part of the inclined plate 8 located on the support rod 7 moves, and the support rod 7 also moves. It can be rotated. When it needs to be fixed, the inclined plate 8 is buckled onto the support rod 7 to achieve fixation. A shear box 9 is provided above the inclined plate 8, and a vertical loading plate 10 is provided above the shear box 9. A rectangular frame 11 is provided on the vertical loading plate 10.

[0029] Among them, the shear box 9 is made of tempered glass, and a blocking plate is provided on the side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 3 away from the support rod 7 to ensure clear side displacement monitoring and stable force on the device.
