Static and Dynamic Stability Analyses for Slopes of Chenab Railway Bridge Abutments
Slope stability is an issue of utmost importance in the Himalayas where the world’s highest railway bridge is being constructed across the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir state of India. The bridge is part of Katra-Qazigund section of the ongoing Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla-Rail-Link (USBRL) project as a part of the ambitious plan of connecting remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the country by Indian Railways. The height of the slope and the presence of foliation joint with two sub-vertical joint sets in dolomitic limestone make the rock slopes of bridge abutments critical for stability verifications. This paper presents an approach to study the stability of slopes with different joint sets having different strength parameters. The stability analyses of the slopes have been performed using Limit Equilibrium, Finite Element, and Discrete Element methods of modeling through Slide, Phase2 of Rocsience®, and UDEC of Itasca®.
