In the dynamic response analysis of slopes, the displacement of sliding surfaces is an important indicator for assessing stability. However, due to the uniform dynamic parameters of the Newmark slide block method, it is difficult to accurately analyze the displacements of large-scale slopes. To address this issue, the spatial distribution characteristics of dynamic parameters need to be considered to accurately analyze the stability of slopes. Under the combined action of rainfall and reservoir water level change, the Shiliushubao old landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area remains stable. To investigate the seismic stability of slopes, simulated seismic waves were employed. Firstly, the dynamic triaxial test, designed with cyclic loading, was employed to investigate the variation rules of the dynamic parameters of slope soil, and to establish a functional relationship. Then, the stochastic seismic motion model was used to generate artificially seismic waves in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area. Finally, to assess the stability of the old landslide, finite element software, GeoStudio 2018 was used to obtain the spatial distribution characteristics of the dynamic parameters and to calculate the permanent displacements of the reservoir bank slope by inputting random ground motion loads and dynamic characteristic functions. It is demonstrated that under the most unfavorable working conditions of heavy rainfall and the earthquake in the specific region, the permanent displacement of the Shiliushubao old landslide will be less than the critical permanent displacement, the old landslide is not to experience instability again.
The seismic performance of underground structures is strongly influenced by the characteristics of both the surrounding soil and the earthquake. In contrast to traditional deterministic analysis methods, this study uses a stochastic analysis approach to investigate the effect of uncertainties in nonlinear soil characteristics, shear wave velocity, density, and earthquake randomness on the response of underground stations. The equivalent linearization method is employed to approximate the nonlinear behavior of the soil. The soil was modeled using a linear elastic constitutive model combined with Rayleigh damping in the finite element model. Inter-story displacements are used to determine structural damage. Probabilistic analysis methods are used to obtain their statistical characteristics, and the probability of failure is calculated. The results show that, according to single parameter analysis, random ground motion results in the greatest probability of exceeding the threshold (PET), while ground shear wave velocity significantly affects the coefficient of variation (COV), and the effect of density is the smallest. The study also found that when soil nonlinearity, shear wave velocity, and random ground motion are considered simultaneously, the range, mean, standard deviation, and COV of interstory displacement all increase significantly, but the PET slightly decreases. In summary, the analysis results indicate that random ground motion has the greatest impact on interstory displacement, followed by shear wave velocity, with nonlinear soil characteristics having a smaller effect, and density the least. Therefore, the impact of various uncertainties should be fully considered in the analysis of underground structures, especially random ground motion and shear wave velocity.
