Response of heterogeneous slopes to increased surcharge load
Abstract Slope stability analysis generally considers a homogeneous slope composed of either soil or rock. There is no definitive criterion to distinguish homogeneous and heterogeneous slopes. This paper presents five model tests on two-layered slopes with different interface subjected to surcharge load. Numerical simulations were performed to capture the behaviors observed. Given the satisfactory reproduction of the model tests, a parametric study was then conducted to investigate the impact of the interface, slope angle and strength parameters. Finally, a set of criteria based on the relative cohesion ratio was proposed to characterize a distinct change in the nature of the slope.
