Due to the complexity in the heterogeneous internal structure and interactions between rocks and soil, the slide of soil–rock mixed slope is usually more complex than that of a homogeneous soil slope. This paper investigated the stability of soil–rock mixed slopes with finite element method (FEM) based on random heterogeneous structure. An image-aided approach was used to generate the 2-D and 3-D digital rocks to ensure the morphology of digital rocks was similar with the real rocks. The 2-D and 3-D soil–rock mixed slopes were then generated by placing the digital rocks into the soil matrix. The generated heterogeneous structures of soil–rock mixed slope were imported into ABAQUS for numerical analysis. The effect of rock content, spatial distributions, material properties, and rock–soil interface on the stability of soil–rock mixed slopes were analyzed. Results show that the stability factor of the soil–rock mixed slope increases with the increase of rock content. The rocks can play a certain degree of antislide effect in the slope. The uneven spatial distribution of rocks has effect on the overall stability of soil–rock mixed slope. This effect is more significant when the rock content is moderate. Rocks distributed in the middle layer of the slope may improve the overall antisliding performance of the slope. The stability factor decreases with the increase of rock density. While the effect of rock elastic modulus on stability of soil–rock mixed slope is relatively limited. The contact condition at the soil–rock interface has effect on the overall stability of soil–rock mixed slope. It is recommended to properly determine the interface properties for stability analysis of soil–rock mixed slope. |
