Abstract
To analyze the stability of soil-rock mixture (SRM) slopes, the nodal-based continuous-discontinuous deformation analysis method (NCDDAM), originally proposed to simulate the movement of rock block system and rock failure processes, is further enriched in the present work. In the enriched NCDDAM, the nonlinear deformation effects of soil matrix and rock blocks are considered with the widely used Mohr-Coulomb model in geotechnical engineering. Additionally, the nonlinear contact mechanical behavior at the soil-rock interfaces is simulated with a series of non-breakable joint elements. Furthermore, to accurately obtain the factor of safety (FOS) of SRM slopes, an improved strength reduction technique, which accounts for the inequality, is incorporated in NCDDAM. The accuracy of the enriched NCDDAM in evaluating FOSs of slopes is validated through the stability analysis of a homogeneous slope. Based on the enriched NCDDAM, the influences of rock block content, main axis direction of rock blocks, and strength parameters of soil-rock interface on the stability of SRM slopes are fully investigated. The enriched NCDDAM deserves further investigation.
