Abstract
The slurry trench has become increasingly common in underground engineering and the stability of a slurry trench has been an important design issue. Although many studies have focused on the overall stability of a slurry trench, few of that are related to its local stability. Based on the limit analysis, both two dimensional and three dimensional rotational failure mechanisms for the local failure of a slurry trench in a sandwiched weak layer are proposed, and the upper solutions of 2D and 3D safety factors for local failure mechanisms are derived to evaluate the stability of a slurry trench. Moreover, a numerical analysis combined with the strength reduction technique is performed to investigate the local stability and the local failure process of a slurry trench. The proposed analytical method is verified through the comparison with the results of FLAC3D. Finally, a parametric study on the influences of geometric and geologic parameters on the local stability of the slurry trench are investigated. The results show that the investigation on the local stability of a slurry trench is effective and reasonable, which can provide a reference for the engineers in the practical engineering.
