Abstract

The paper studied a side slope engineering of highway in K29+450~K29+900 sections by making an on-site survey of landform and geological features of the side slope. By combining drilling, high-density electrical method and numerical simulation method, the depth and range of the sliding surface were determined. The stability of the side slope after an excavation in a normal and a rainfall conditions was analyzed using numerical simulation method, and simulation results show that in the normal condition the safety factor of the side slope is 1.12, and it is 1.05 in the rainfall condition; the distribution of plastic zones is wide, especially in the rainfall condition, the side slope has a large deformation and is in an unstable state. When a program of side slope reinforcement is chosen, the impact under rainfall condition should be considered in order to ensure long-term stability of side slope.
