Description

[0002] In the fields of geotechnical engineering and structural engineering, physical model testing is an effective method to study the interaction mechanism between landslides, prevention and control projects, and railway projects. When designing the test, a suitable research area is usually selected around the prevention and control structures and railway projects in the landslide prototype, with its length parallel to the main sliding direction and its width perpendicular to the main sliding direction. The area in the main sliding direction is selected at a certain interface behind the prevention and control structures such as anti-slide piles, and the interface is regarded as a stress or displacement boundary. Based on the relevant information and similarity criteria of the landslide prototype, the test model is established and the size and distribution of stress or displacement on the boundary are determined. In the test, the push plate loading method is used to replace the omitted sliding body behind the interface, so as to obtain the stress and deformation characteristics of the prevention and control structures and railway engineering structures under the thrust of the landslide, providing a reference for structural design.
