The failure of slope is a progressive process, and the whole sliding surface is caused by the gradual softening of soil strength of the potential sliding surface. From this viewpoint, a local dynamic strength reduction method is proposed to capture the progressive failure of slope. This method can calculate the warning deformation of landslide in this study. Only strength parameters of the yielded zone of landslide will be reduced by using the method. Through continuous local reduction of the strength parameters of the yielded zone, the potential sliding surface developed gradually and evolved to breakthrough finally. The result shows that the proposed method can simulate the progressive failure of slope truly. The yielded zone and deformation of landslide obtained by the method are smaller than those of overall strength reduction method. The warning deformation of landslide can be obtained by using the local dynamic strength reduction method which is based on the softening characteristics of the sliding surface.
水压会刺激岩石裂纹的产生和加速岩石破裂,对岩石的变形破坏特征和破坏机制有重要影响。利用MTS815 Flex Test GT岩石力学试验系统和PCI-Ⅱ声发射仪开展了砂岩在不同围压下的水-力耦合试验。结果表明:在整个岩石破裂过程中,声发射活动随加载时间、应力变化表现出不同的特征;声发射活动在岩石的峰后阶段随着水压的增大更为集中,强度也更高,而随着围压的增大其集中程度和强度都有所降低;在相同围压下,声发射累计振铃计数和累计能量随着水压的增大而增大,在相同水压下,声发射累计振铃计数和累计能量则随着围压增大而有所减少;随着水压的增大,岩石最终失稳破坏时刻的声发射三维定位图中裂纹数量增多,裂纹的集中程度也更高,在宏观破坏形态上表现出破坏角减小。这些成果揭示了水-力耦合作用下岩石的破坏机制由压制剪切向压制张裂变化,岩石破裂的脆性破坏特征增强。
