One reason for this is the spatial variability of rock bridges (RBs) related to non-persistent, pre-existing geological structures, especially as the detection of RBs is generally limited to the post-failure period. Thus, the identification and classification of RBs and their inclusion in numerical studies are demanding, yet essential, since even small quantities of RBs can be decisive for rock slope stability. In our study, we demonstrate how brittle RB failure and pre-existing geological structures control the mechanisms of a polyphase rock slope failure. Therefore, we present a case study in the Austrian Alps, where three rock falls with a failure volume of 30,000 m<sup>3</sup> occurred in 2019. Based on detailed process reconstructions, high-resolution terrain models, and comprehensive geological and rock mechanical investigations, we derived high-quality input for our distinct element model (DEM). By applying asymmetric Voronoi tessellation in the DEM, we modelled the coalescence of pre-existing geological structures by brittle RB failure. As a result, we identified toppling as the predominant failure mechanism at the study site. Distinctive geological structures decisively affected the failure mechanism. However, the toppling failure was only reproducible by incorporating RBs in the DEM in their pre-failure position. Finally, we found that joint persistence, and consequently the presence of potential RBs, controls which initial rock fall failure mechanism was developed. In conclusion, we state that the initial toppling failure of the Hüttschlag rock falls is controlled by non-persistent geological structures in interplay with RBs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"82 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10064-023-03382-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46922226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a rough fracture model is established based on the Barton curve, and the effects of fracture roughness, water flow rate, fracture inclination, and grouting pressure are considered, and orthogonal tests are used to study the diffusion pattern of slurry under the four factors. According to the observed phenomena, there are four main diffusion patterns of the slurry: (1) full slurry coverage with no water passing through; (2) little coverage with watercourses and cavity areas along both sides of the fracture; (3) partial slurry coverage with no obvious watercourses but some cavity areas; and (4) less coverage with larger watercourses and cavity areas. The reduction rate of flow rate at the outlet before and after grouting was used to express the sealing effect. The results show that the degree of influence on the slurry sealing effect from strong to weak is fracture roughness, water flow velocity, grouting pressure, and fracture angle in order. A method to characterize the sealing effect by slurry coverage is proposed based on the final distribution of residual slurry. Considering the mutual influence between different factors, the sealing effect of two factors is analyzed in order to provide reference for engineering practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":500,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment","volume":"82 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48283982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the construction of roads in sponge city, the roadbed must have natural-like permeability and water retention capacities to assure normal permeation and retention of rainwater. These capacities are contradictory with the collapse of the loess roadbed. This research proposes a collapsible loess roadbed replacement method based on optimized lightweight soil with cotton stalk fibers (LSCF) to overcome this contradiction. The optimization of the LSCF mixture ratio was based on density, unconfined compressive strength, and permeability tests. The optimized LSCF has a low density (1.05 g/cm<sup>3</sup>), sufficient strength (178.43 kPa), and similar permeability to natural loess (4.03 × 10<sup>−6</sup> cm/s). In addition, a method for calculating replacement depth and the corresponding replacement construction processes were developed. Three methods, including theory calculation, centrifugal model test, and practical field demonstration, were used to further evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed replacement method. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the replacement method effectively reduces the self-weight collapsibility settlement (more than 20%) and maintains good permeability and water retention capacity of the loess site.

Curved surfaces have the potential to accelerate the failure of slopes and are essential for the analysis of slopes as open pit slopes and waste dump slopes in mines. Reasonable analysis of curved slopes requires knowledge about their failure and deformation behavior, which are not thoroughly clarified so far. In this study, a series of base friction model tests were conducted comparatively on slopes with concave and convex section surfaces under gravitational loading conditions. An updated speckle analysis and displacement measurement system was developed to capture the slope deformation and failure process in the base friction model tests; thus, the behaviors and mechanism of the failure process of the slopes were studied considering the effect of shape and curvature. The results showed that both the concave and convex section slopes experienced a significant step-by-step failure process. The slip surface was caused by the development of deformation localization in the curved slopes, and the slip surface of the concave section slopes was nearly arced with an initial deformation at the crown, while for the convex section slopes, the slip surface was nearly linear and the deformation occurred first at the middle of the slope surface. The failure behavior was significantly influenced by the shape and curvature of a slope surface, and the deformation and failure process of slopes was divided into three phases: the uniform deformation phase, the strain localization phase, and the failure phase. Two characteristic test time are provided to illustrate the stability of curved slopes, demonstrating that the stability of concave section slopes was higher than that of convex section slopes, which was basically consistent with the other results. A strain analysis was conducted to investigate the strain localization of the slopes with curved surfaces by user-written code following the finite element method, and the deformation mechanism of the curved slopes was analyzed by volumetric strain and maximum shear strain. A novel index was proposed to analyze the relative degree of volumetric effect and shear effect acting on slopes during the test, which indicates that the more pronounced shear effect of the concave section slopes appeared in the crown area of the slope, while the significant shear effect appeared at the middle of the slope surface for the convex section slopes. The slip surface geometry and location of the slopes with curved surfaces were illustrated by numerical modeling combining the strength reduction method with the finite difference program FLAC3D.
