Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Rock Characteristics on the Soil-Rock Mixture (SRM) Slopes Stability
Soil-rock mixture is a widely distributed geological material in mountainous regions, where slope stability is an important issue. To investigate the influence of rock on slope stability, firstly, rocks in SRM are generated and then SRM slope models are simulated based on the finite difference method (FDM). The impact of various characteristics of rocks on slope factor of safety (FOS) is studied systematically by using the reduced strength method. The characteristic of rock considered include rock content, number of rock edges, aspect ratio, rock size and inclination of rock. The simulations indicate that increasing the rock content can prevent the development of high strain region and improve slope stability. However, the aspect ratio of rock has negligible impact on the mean value of FOS. For slopes with 45° slope angle, rocks with 45° angle of inclination result in smooth potential sliding surface, whereas rocks with 135° angle of inclination lead to more tortuous potential sliding surfaces. Statistical indices are utilized to analyze the results of numerical modelling.
