Stability Analysis of a Temperature-Dependent Jointed Rock Mass

Moallemi, S. / Bazargan, M. / Dang, K. / Azami, A. / Abouelhassan, M.

Permafrost degradation is a critical factor to consider when examining the destabilization of rock slopes in cold regions. This study focuses on the numerical analysis of the Zugspitze summit-crest in Germany, utilizing a temperature-dependent mechanical model. Material properties and degradation parameters were measured by an independent research group who conducted various geomechanical and geotechnical laboratory tests, as well as field study. The analysis covers the effects of temperature on the mechanical properties of the rock mass, and the results indicate that the slope's stability is affected by temperature changes in the model. The model demonstrates a positive correlation between increasing temperatures due to climate change and the likelihood of rock slope instability and failure. The model presented in this study can aid in managing the risks associated with permafrost degradation and rock slope instability.
