Abstract:
The connecting canal of south bank for Crossing the Yellow River Project is located in the loess area, which belongs to class I building with complicated geological conditions. About 2/3 of the canal section is located below groundwater level, and the highest height of high loess slope at this segment reaches 80 m. The high loess slope stability is one of key technical problems in construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In this paper, a large number of loess fundamental test data in the region were analyzed and the parameters were selected for the calculations of loess high slope stability of the outlet and inlet sections from the original design using the limit equilibrium method, nonlinear finite element analysis, and dynamic finite element analysis. A new slope design scheme was proposed based on the characteristics of loess. The results suggested that the new design is better according to the slops stability calculations.
