Abstract:It is important to ensure the stability of a high vertical slope when the top of the vertical stopping high slope is constructed. The finite element method is used to study the stability of vertically supporting high slopes with the buildings near the top of the slope under the general and seismic conditions. Two foundation forms of shallow foundation and pile foundation are considered in the simulation. By analyzing the effects of the embedded depth of the shallow foundation and the length of the piles on the failure mode of the slope, the safety factor and the force of the supporting piles, a slope supporting scheme considering the building structure on the slope top is proposed, and is verified by the engineering examples. The results show that, in general, a building constructed at the top of a slope has an adverse impact on the slope, and the pile foundation of the building at the top of the slope has the obvious effect of stability. When the shallow foundation is used for the buildings, the greater the embedded depth of shallow foundation is, the greater the safety factor of slope is and the smaller the force of the supporting pile is. When the pile foundation is used for the building, the longer the pile length is, the more stable the slope is, and the smaller the force of the supporting pile is. However, when the pile length increases to the depth of the slope bottom, the force of the supporting pile is no longer affected by the length of the pile foundation.
