Abstract:

Given the uncertainty in the development characteristics of rock discontinuities, a method for searching for irregular sliding surfaces in rock slopes was proposed. Using the rock masses of rock discontinuities III and IV as research objects, and utilizing the block cutting and key block identification modules in the GeoSMA-3D (geotechnical structure and model analysis-3D) system, the sliding mass is set as a geometric polyhedron. The internal block combinations of the rock mass form the polyhedron, with the surface of the polyhedron representing the sliding surface. The analytic hierarchy process is introduced to establish semi?quantitative evaluation criteria for the sliding surface. Using the Xiaopanling slope as a case study, the criteria for determining the irregular sliding surface were integrated into the GeoSMA-3D system. The study identifies six key blocks and three combined sliding surfaces. The potential sliding surface has a safety factor of 1.046, and the geometric shape of the sliding surface aligns with the actual slope with a fitness of up to 95%. This validates the rationality of the proposed method for searching sliding surfaces in rock slopes.

Key words: rock slope, sliding surface, GeoSMA-3D, key block, analytic hierarchy process(AHP)
