Abstract

Flexural toppling occurs when a series of layered rock masses bend towards their free face. It is important to evaluate the maximum bending degree and the requirement of supports of flexural toppling rock mass to prevent rock mass cracking and even failure leading to a landslide. Based on the rock tensile strain-softening model, this study proposes a method for calculating the maximum curvature (Cppmax) of flexural toppling rock masses. By applying this method to calculate Cppmax of 9 types of rock masses with different hardness and rock layer thickness, some conclusions are drawn: (1) the internal key factors affecting Cppmax are E (E= Ess/E0, where E0 and Ess are the mean deformation moduli of the rock before and after reaching its peak tensile strength, respectively), the strain εt corresponding to the tensile strength of rock, and the thickness (h) of rock layers; (2) hard rock layers are more likely to develop into block toppling than soft rock layers; and (3) thin rock layers are more likely to remain in flexural toppling state than thick rock layers. In addition, it is found that Cppmax for flexural toppling rock masses composed of bedded rocks such as gneiss is related to the tensile direction.

基于岩石拉伸应变软化模型的挠性倾覆岩体最大弯曲度评估方法
当一系列层状岩体向其自由面弯曲时,就会发生挠曲倾覆。为防止岩体开裂甚至崩塌导致滑坡,评估挠曲顶覆岩体的最大弯曲度和支撑要求非常重要。本研究以岩石拉伸应变软化模型为基础,提出了一种计算挠曲倾覆岩体最大弯曲度(Cppmax)的方法。通过应用该方法计算 9 种不同硬度和岩层厚度岩体的 Cppmax,得出了一些结论:(1) 影响 Cppmax 的内部关键因素是 E⋆(E⋆= Ess/E0,其中 E0 和 Ess 分别为岩石达到峰值抗拉强度之前和之后的平均变形模量)、与岩石抗拉强度相对应的应变 εt 和岩层厚度(h);(2) 硬岩层比软岩层更容易形成块体倾覆;(3) 薄岩层比厚岩层更容易保持挠曲倾覆状态。此外,研究还发现,由片麻岩等层理岩石组成的挠曲顶推岩体的 Cppmax 与拉伸方向有关。

期刊介绍: Journal of Earth Science (previously known as Journal of China University of Geosciences), issued bimonthly through China University of Geosciences, covers all branches of geology and related technology in the exploration and utilization of earth resources. Founded in 1990 as the Journal of China University of Geosciences, this publication is expanding its breadth of coverage to an international scope. Coverage includes such topics as geology, petrology, mineralogy, ore deposit geology, tectonics, paleontology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics and environmental sciences. Articles published in recent issues include Tectonics in the Northwestern West Philippine Basin; Creep Damage Characteristics of Soft Rock under Disturbance Loads; Simplicial Indicator Kriging; Tephra Discovered in High Resolution Peat Sediment and Its Indication to Climatic Event. The journal offers discussion of new theories, methods and discoveries; reports on recent achievements in the geosciences; and timely reviews of selected subjects.
