Cellular automata solution for slope stability analysis by slices model and its application
are still the mainstream methods of slope analysis and evaluation. However
due to the rigid body assumption
how to simplify and calculate the forces between rigid slices is the most critical problem for slices model. A reasonable simplified condition will result in a solving approach to different methods
and also is the main and direct reason that affects the difference of calculation results. However
even a simplified condition must be given
slices methods are still important means of the analysis of slope stability at present. Considering the fact existing
this paper attempts to present a more reasonable approach to calculate the force between slices. In this study
the forces between slices will not be simplified by adopting the cellular automata method
and the forces will be obtained by an iterative solution so that the only statically determinate convergent solution is obtained for the statically indeterminate slope slices model. The corresponding program software CASlope is developed. Example results show that this approach is feasible and the results are reasonable.
