Abstract:

Bedding rock slope is a common slope type in sedimentary rock areas, and is a slope-type that is focused on by various engineering construction. Taking a typical bedding rock slope in Ya’an area of west Sichuan as an example, the deformation and failure modes of the slope are summarized by field investigation, UAV mapping, drilling, geophysical exploration, stability calculation and other technical methods. The relation between the connectivity of interlaminar fracture zone and slope stability under different conditions is analyzed and calculated. The results show that: the interlaminar fracture zone has an important influence/control on slope stability. When the connectivity of the interlaminar fracture zone in the shallow part of the slope is less than 86%, the slope stability is consistent with the current investigation results. This provides a new idea to analyze the extension length or connectivity of interlaminar fracture zone of layered rock bodies. The research results have important engineering significance for infrastructure planning and construction, as well as for disaster prevention and mitigation in west Sichuan.

Key words: bedding rock slope, failure mode, interlaminar fracture zone, stability analysis
