Numerical Simulation and Design Optimization Research of Slope Ratio and Platforms Influence on a High Rock Cut Slope Engineering Stability

Abstract

According to the rock high-cut slope excavation engineering practice of a substation in Jiangxi, with the goals of stable and economic rational slope design, numerical simulation research of the slope ratio and unloading platform and design optimization work was carried out. The slope safety factor, displacement and plastic zone distribution changes of different slope ratio and platform setting programs were obtained. The results show that:(1) the adjustment of the slope ratio and platform can significantly affect the slope displacement and plastic zone distribution, reasonable slope ratio and platform can reduce the horizontal displacement and plastic zone of slope, increase the safety factor and stability;(2) the slope monitoring results show that numerical simulation optimization design is feasible, and the excavation slope maintain security and stability during the construction period, and economic benefit has been obtained. The research conclusions can provide technical support for the engineering design, and reference for design and research of high-cut slope excavation engineering with similar conditions in that region.
