Description

Technical Field

[0002] In fields such as geotechnical engineering and structural engineering, physical model tests are an effective method for studying the interaction mechanism among landslides - prevention and control projects - 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. The length direction is parallel to the main sliding direction, and the width direction is perpendicular to the main sliding direction. The area range in the main sliding direction is selected at a certain interface behind prevention and control structures such as anti-slide piles, and this interface is regarded as the stress or displacement boundary. Based on the relevant information of the landslide prototype and the similarity criterion, an experimental model is established and the magnitude and distribution of stress or displacement on this boundary are determined. In the test, a push plate loading method is used to replace the omitted sliding mass behind this interface, so as to obtain the stress and deformation characteristics of the prevention and control structures and railway engineering structures under the action of landslide thrust, providing a reference for structural design.
