The invention relates to a method for identifying and extracting a potential sliding surface of a side slope under three-dimensional numerical
simulation analysis, and belongs to the field of traffic side slope
engineering. According to the method, a
strength reduction technology does not need to be introduced, a rock-soil body
shear strength criterion is not limited, after the slope
stress field is obtained through numerical
simulation calculation, the three-dimensional slope potential sliding surface can be efficiently, automatically and intelligently recognized and extracted, the obtained potential sliding surface conforms to a slope shear
failure mechanism, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application. The actual damage form of the three-dimensional slope in a real scene can be effectively displayed; according to the method, the sliding circumference
boundary line of the three-dimensional potential sliding surface is determined firstly, and then the
discrete points of the three-dimensional potential sliding surface are extracted within the range, so that intelligent identification and extraction of the three-dimensional potential sliding surface are facilitated. The method has the advantages of being wide in application range, high in efficiency, small in deviation, high in universality, good in effect, low in cost and the like, has the automatic and intelligent characteristics, and can provide a powerful scientific basis for slope potential
instability range prediction and reinforcement area determination in actual
engineering.
