Abstract:Taking an expressway embankment slope in a flood detention area in Tianjin as an example, Midas GTS finite element software is used to simulate and calculate the stability of embankment slope, and to calculate and analyze the water level changes of the embankment slope in the flood detention area one by one. The orthogonal design test method is used to analyze and compare the sensitivity of influences such as flood level drop range, water level drop speed and embankment filling permeability coefficient on embankment stability, which provides a useful reference for highway embankment projects in flood detention areas.
