Abstract:

The proposed Sichuan-Tibet Railway is the most complicated railway in nature and geological environment. The geological disaster, as a key control node of local and even the whole line, is related to the success or failure of Sichuan-Tibet Railway construction. Field investigation shows that the Denongnongba ancient landslide is located on the first order land of the right bank in Zangqu River, and has attracted much attention in the process of railway line selection or construction in Sichuan and Tibet, and its stability is a necessary condition for railway selection line. Based on field investigation, this paper systematically calculated and analyzed the physical and mechanical parameters and stability of the ancient landslide deposit. The results show that under natural conditions, the dry density of gravel is above 1.75 g/cm3, and the water content is less than 4%, and the cohesion and internal friction angle of the deposit are significantly correlated with water content, which decreases with the increase of water content. Based on FLAC3D numerical simulation and GEO-SLOPE stability result, it is shown that the landslide deposit is stable under natural and rainstorm conditions, but the stability of toe and the posterior edge of slope is poor under heavy rainfall condition, and the stability coefficient of toe is only 0.761. Under the action of rainstorm, earthquake and human activity, the deposit is likely to be local instability, which affects the safety of railway construction and the residents on the slope, and it is necessary to take comprehensive management and stability monitoring to the landslide.
