Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological safety assessment technology, specifically a method for assessing the stability of steeply dipping, layered rock slopes under seismic action. Background Technology
[0002] Earthquake-induced slope instability and landslides pose a serious threat to engineering safety and the safety of people's lives and property in mountainous areas, and are one of the major challenges in the field of geological disaster prevention and control. Among these, steeply sloping, internally layered rock slopes, due to their unique structural characteristics, are extremely prone to instability and failure under seismic dynamics, causing numerous serious disasters such as the Jianshan landslide and the Zhaiziyan landslide. Therefore, conducting accurate assessments of the dynamic stability of steeply sloping, internally layered rock slopes is of great engineering significance.
[0003] How to evaluate the stability of steeply sloping, internally layered rock slopes, thereby providing theoretical support for the precise reinforcement design of slopes, is a problem we need to solve. To this end, we now provide a method for evaluating the stability of steeply sloping, internally layered rock slopes under seismic loading. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for assessing the stability of steeply dipping, layered rock slopes under seismic loading.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a method for assessing the stability of steeply dipping, layered rock slopes under seismic loading, comprising:
[0006] Obtain the geological parameters of the target geological area, establish corresponding slope blocks based on the obtained geological parameters of the target geological area, and fit the slope blocks to obtain a steeply dipping inner layered rock model corresponding to the target geological area.
[0007] By deploying corresponding sensors and DIC speckle patterns on the steeply dipping inner-layered rock model, a physical model of the corresponding steeply dipping inner-layered rock slope is obtained.
[0008] The physical model of the steeply dipping inner-layered rock slope was placed on a shaking table and a horizontal seismic load was applied to obtain the seismic simulation state parameters of the physical model of the steeply dipping inner-layered rock slope under the horizontal seismic load.
[0009] The stability of each slope block in the physical model of a steeply dipping, layered rock slope is analyzed based on the obtained seismic simulation state parameters, and the slope stability of the target geological area is judged based on the analysis results.
[0010] Furthermore, the geological parameters include geological structure types, the strike, dip, dip angle, density of each geological structure type, and the relative positional relationship and spacing between different geological structure surfaces;
[0011] Based on the strike, dip, dip angle, and density of the geological parameters corresponding to each geological structure, construct slope blocks corresponding to each geological structure.
[0012] Then, based on the relative positions and spacing between the various geological structures, the corresponding slope blocks are assembled to obtain a steeply sloping inner layered rock model.
[0013] Furthermore, the process of deploying corresponding sensors and DIC speckle patterns on the steeply dipping inner-layered rock model to obtain the corresponding physical model of the steeply dipping inner-layered rock slope includes:
[0014] During the construction of the steeply inclined inner layered rock model, tools were used to excavate spaces for placing sensors at the corresponding positions of each slope block, and the sensors were placed in the corresponding spaces and connected to the signal acquisition instruments.
[0015] After setting DIC speckles on the surface of the steeply dipping inner-layered rock model, the physical model of the steeply dipping inner-layered rock slope is completed.
[0016] Furthermore, the sensors include a triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer, a triaxial capacitive accelerometer, and a laser displacement sensor. The triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer is deployed when the slope is first built, and it is directly connected to the signal acquisition instrument. The triaxial capacitive accelerometer and the laser displacement sensor are first connected to the signal amplifier and then to the signal acquisition instrument.
[0017] Furthermore, the horizontal seismic load A is represented by seismic acceleration.
[0018] Furthermore, the earthquake simulation state parameters include the cohesion of each slope block. Length of sliding surface of slope block Weight of slope blocks internal friction angle The angle between the sliding surface of the slope block and the horizontal plane .
[0019] Furthermore, the process of analyzing the stability of each slope block within the physical model of a steeply dipping, layered rock slope using the obtained seismic simulation state parameters, and determining the slope stability of the target geological area based on the analysis results, includes:

[0023] in, ;
[0024] ;
[0025] ;
[0026] Based on the obtained rock slope stability coefficient Fs, the slope stability of the target geological area is determined, i.e.:
[0027] When Fs=1, it indicates that the slope of the target geological area is in a critical stable state;
[0028] When Fs > 1, it indicates that the slope of the target geological area is in a theoretically stable state;
[0029] When Fs < 1, it indicates that the slope of the target geological area is at risk of instability.
[0030] Furthermore, the process of obtaining the horizontal seismic inertial force at different elevation locations in a target geological area at risk of instability is as follows:
[0031] Obtain the elevation of each slope block, and record the elevation of the slope block labeled i as . ;
[0032] The dynamic distribution coefficient of the elevation influence of each slope block is then obtained, denoted as . ,in:
[0033] ;
[0034] in, H represents the basic coefficient of the slope block, and H represents the slope height of the physical model of the steeply sloping inner layered rock slope.

[0037] in, This refers to the slope gradient corresponding to the location of the slope block;
[0038] This allows us to obtain the horizontal seismic inertial force at each location, denoted as... ,in:
[0039] ;
[0040] in, This represents the base seismic acceleration at the corresponding location. This is the reduction factor for the effect of seismic action, usually taken as 0.25.
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0042] 1. Based on the failure mode of the shaking table test model and the seismic simulation state parameters of the physical model of the steeply dipping inner layered rock slope under horizontal seismic load, the stability of the non-uniform distribution of acceleration space is analyzed, so that the calculation results can more realistically reflect the actual instability process of the slope.
[0043] 2. An improvement scheme is proposed to address the limitations of the traditional quasi-static method. This involves reconstructing the seismic inertial force calculation formula by introducing a modified dynamic distribution coefficient and incorporating the elevation amplification effect. With respect to the effect of slope The calculation model takes into account the influence of slope and elevation on the acceleration amplification effect, so that the stability calculation results considering the non-uniform distribution of acceleration space can more realistically reflect the actual instability process of the slope.

[0053] Geological exploration of a target geological area is conducted using ground-penetrating radar to obtain the geological structure of the target geological area and the corresponding geological parameters. It should be noted that in practical applications, the method of obtaining the geological structure of the target geological area needs to be adjusted by technicians according to the actual situation. In addition to ground-penetrating radar, the methods used also include electrical exploration, geological sampling, seismic waves, etc.

It should be noted that the magnitude of the seismic wave input in the experiment is controlled by the acceleration amplitude. Various seismic waves are loaded starting from 0.1g, increasing by 0.1g at each level until reaching 0.3g. The dynamic response of the slope is studied under as many conditions as possible during low-amplitude loading. After 0.3g, to study the deformation and failure process of the model, 10Hz, 50Hz sine waves, and MZQP-5T seismic waves are gradually increased in increments of 0.1g until the model is completely destroyed. Other seismic wave input schemes can be used in practical applications, which are not listed here.
