Numerical Analysis of Geocell Protective Slope Stability

چکیده
Geocell protective slope is a kind of important ecological protection form, which is widely used in the geotechnical engineering field. Based on the finite element software ABAQUS, and combining with protective slope body’s mechanics performance in shallow soil, the finite element model of geocell slope protection is established under the conditions of rainfall seepage, and then we simulate the shallow and the overall stability of slope in rainfall seepage cases. The results show that the safety factor of slope body increased by about 14% when using geocell slope protection and it reduces the displacement of slope surface effectively, it prolongs the destruction time of the slope under the condition of continuous reduction of soil shear strength, and it further helps reducing the collapse or part of slope sliding of slope disasters.

An investigation into a Geocell-reinforced Slope in The Unsaturated Numerical Model
Considering unsaturation conditions of soil significantly helps to produce relatively real results. Numerical methods have been assumed as conventional methods in soil mechanics to examine soil behavior. However, the accuracy of numerical methods dramatically depends on applying the appropriate behavioral model to solve problems. One of the known elastoplastic models for unsaturated soils i...

Abstract—This paper presents a numerical study for investigating the effectiveness of geocell reinforcement in reducing pressure and settlement over EPS geofoam blocks in road embankments. A 3-D FEM model of soil and geofoam was created in ABAQUS, and geocell was also modeled realistically using membrane elements. The accuracy of the model was tested by comparing its results with previous works...

One of the most effective parameters in economics of open-pit mines is the pit slope angle, so that the slope angle more than the optimum value increases the probability of a large failure in the pit wall and the slope angle less than the optimum value leads to increasing stripping ratio and reducing net present value of mine. Therefore, in this paper, considering the limit equilibrium methods ...
