YAN E-chuan, DAI Guang-zhong, LIU Chang-xiong. Stability analysis and treatment design of a loosen
structure road cutting rock slope[J]. 2005, 26(S2).DOI:
The road cutting rock slope above the Dongmenguan tunnel in Xuanen sector of Hubei Provincial 209 highway
is a typical loosen structure one. According to characteristics of engineering geological
hydrogeological
structure of rock mass and prior symptom of deformation and failure of the slope
potential types of slope failure are identified; and un-equilibrium pushing method commended by present criterion is used to calculate the slope stability and to process treatment design. During remediation for the slopes of loose material
general treatment techniques always bring many problems such as the extrusion of soil above top of pile
the extrusion of soil between piles
and the decay of anchoring forces in cable bolts; so techniques relating to cutting
anchoring
structure beam and retaining wall are proposed to substitute techniques caused problems. A new method about solving the problems of analyzing and remedying loosen structure road cutting rock slope is presented.
