Stability analysis of rock slope and calculation of rock lateral pressure in foundation pit with structural plane and cave development

Abstract

In this study, numerical simulations were carried out to analyze the influence of caves in different positions and shapes, in combination with structural planes, on the stability of the slope and the failure characteristics of a rock slope in a deep foundation pit with high inclination structural planes and cave development. The schemes for substituting a single karst cave for karst caves were constructed. Based on the penetration failure characteristics of karst caves between parallel structural planes, calculation methods for the safety factor of the rock foundation pits and the upper bound of the lateral pressure of supporting structures under the combined influence of the caves and structural planes have been developed, which can be used to assess the safety factor of a rock mass and to calculate the lateral pressure under complex geological conditions. The example of Xuzhou Metro Line 3 Sanhuan South Road Station is taken as an example to verify. The displacement calculation results show that the proposed rock and soil pressure calculation method is close to the actual measured value.

Study on the critical stable height of vertical excavation in rocky foundation pit within layered structural plane

“…Jin, etc. 37 , 38 studied the sliding failure law of bedding slopes in rock foundation pits with developed structural planes, and constructed corresponding stability and safety factor calculation formulas. Based on this, sensitivity analysis on the stability of rock foundation pit slopes was conducted on the influence of factors such as the spacing and inclination angle of parallel structural planes, the shear strength of rock mass structural planes, etc.…”
