+-U- D?-
The most common types of slope failure [滑坡] are illustrated in Fig.7.1. Translational slide tends to occur where an adjacent weak zone [软弱层] of soil is at a relatively shallow depth below the surface of the slope. The failure surface tends to be plane and roughly parallel to the slope. [滑动面为平面与坡面平行] )D5"ap]fX
Rotational slide is common for cohesive soil [粘性土] (e.g. clays) slope. The shape of the failure surface in section may be a circular arc or a non-circular curve. In general circular slides are associated with homogeneous soil conditions and non-circular slides are associated with non-homogeneous soil conditions. [滑动面为一曲面] Kp~VS<3

The stability of a slope can be analysed using one or more of the following methods: 5z8d}

– Finite element method [有限元法] fo#fg8zX%
Although a finite element or a finite difference method is more flexible and general, in practice, the limit equilibrium method (LEM) is used in the slope stability analysis. .B]MpmpK
In LEM, the soil is considered to be on the verge of failure along an assumed or a known sliding surface. [在某一假设滑动面,整个块体处于极限平衡状态] In general, the sliding surface is assumed to be a circular arc for clays or a logarithmic spiral for sands and gravels. The shear strength required to maintain a condition of limiting equilibrium is compared with the available shear strength of the soil, giving the average factor of safety along the sliding surface [安全糸数定义为抗剪力与下滑力之比]. The problem is normally considered in two dimensions. [土坡的稳定分析可简化为平面问题] *ebSq)
For the slope stability analysis using the LEM, two analyses are considered for each slope: bz2ztH9 n
– Effective Stress Analysis [有效应力分析] (ESA) which represents drained or long-term behaviour of the slope. Cohesion (c’) and angle of internal friction (’) are used in the analysis. 2Aazy'/
– Total Stress Analysis [总应力分析] (TSA) which represents undrained or short-term behaviour of the slope. Undrained shear strength (cu) is used in the analysis. i$:*Pb3mV

%G_B^p4
It is assumed that the potential failure surface is parallel to the surface of the slope and is at a depth that is small compared with the length of the slope. The slope can then be considered as being of infinite length, with end effects being ignored. [假设滑动面与坡面平行, 滑动块体深度远小于边坡长度, 边坡为无限长] L:pYn_
The slope is inclined at angle to the horizontal and the depth of the failure plane is z, as shown in Fig.7.2. Consider a slice of soil element of width b. [坡角为, 滑动面深度z, 土条宽度为b] Assume the side forces on the soil element can be neglected in the stability analysis, ground water table is below the failure plane and the soil is cohesionless. [假设不考虑土条两边的合力,地下水位低于滑动面,无粘性土] The forces acting on the element are shown in Fig.7.2. W is weight of soil element [土条重量], T is shear force on the failure plane [平行于滑动面的下滑剪切力] and N is normal force on the failure plane [滑动面法线方向的分力].

If water table coincides with the slope surface, the forces acting on the element are shown in Fig.7.3. [地下水位于坡面] An additional hydrostatic force (U) is acting on the failure plane normal to the slope surface [边坡法线方向的静水力]. The equilibrium of forces parallel to the slope surface is also represented by equation (7.1). Consider equilibrium of forces normal to the slope surface, 8:c-k|CX

7.4 Total stress analysis (u = 0) [总应力分析] U9:zVy

This total stress analysis covers the case of a fully saturated clay under undrained condition, or for the condition immediately after construction. [总应力分析合适用于饱和粘土在不排水条件下或短期的稳定分析] Only moment equilibrium is considered in the analysis. [满足力矩平衡条件] In section, the potential failure surface is assumed to be a circular arc [滑动面为弧形]. A trial failure surface (center O, radius r and length L [圆心为O,半径为r,弧长为L]) is shown in Fig.7.4. The failure of slope is mainly due self-weight (W) of the soil. Consider the moment at point O, the disturbing moment of W is expressed as ^& tZ

where d is the moment arm of W from point O [d是W对滑弧圆心的力臂]. The forces resisting the rotation of the sliding soil mass are the shear forces (Tf) mobilised along the circular sliding surface. The resisting moment of Tf at point O is expressed as GmeQ`;9,

where cu is undrained shear strength of the soil, L is length of the circular arc and r is radius of the circular arc. Then factor of safety (Fs) is given by hz;G$cuEE
(7.13) 0d"[l@UU0
It is necessary to analyse the slope for a number of trial failure surfaces in order that the minimum factor of safety can be determined. If tension crack exists at the crest of the slope, the arc length L will be shortened. [当裂缝在坡顶出现,滑弧长度便会减小] The depth of the tension crack can be evaluated from the method presented in 土力学 p.196. [计算裂缝深度可参考土力学 p.196] If the crack is filled with water, a hydrostatic force will act normal to the crack. The additional moment of this hydrostatic force must be added to equation (7.11) for calculating the factor of safety of the slope. [当裂缝积水,计算安全糸数时公式(7.11)中必需考虑静水压力对滑弧圆心O的力矩] 6ryak!|[
