Abstract

The limit equilibrium method (LEM) or finite element method (FEM) for slope problems most frequently focusses on the stability analysis. There are, however, still some problems with the LEM or FEM when considering damage and failure evolution of a rock slope because of the distortion of mesh. In this work, a mesh-free particle approach, named the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, is presented and is improved to analyze the damage and failure process of a rock slope. In order to better describe the cause and mechanism of brittle failure for a rock slope, the plastic factor was suggested and introduced into the SPH algorithm, and the conservation equations of SPH for brittleness characteristics were obtained. Based on the variation of displacement and time, an effective criterion was proposed to define the factor of safety in SPH simulation. The Drucker-Prager Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion was implemented into the SPH algorithm to describe the elastic-plastic behavior. Then, three rock-slope models with different precast cracks were analyzed to illustrate the performance of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed SPH algorithm can be effectively applied in the prediction of the deformation and failure process of rock slope.
