| description | Live stump-supported slopes are an environmentally friendly form of support that utilizes the powerful anchoring and reinforcing effects of deep-rooted plants to enhance slope stability. In order to ensure the safety and stability of embankment slopes during their service life, it is necessary to carry out research on the dynamic characteristics and stability of live stump slopes under train vibration loading. In this study, a large-scale indoor dynamic loading model test with a geometry of 1:7 was carried out on the live stump slope of a ballasted passenger railroad track to explore the attenuation characteristics of additional dynamic stresses, the dynamic displacement response law of the slope surface and the stress response characteristics of the live stumps, and to further investigate the influence of the live stumps on the stability of the slope under the dynamic loading. The results are as follows. (i) Additional dynamic stresses decayed at the bed surface and bed floor at a greater rate than the embankment body, and were significantly affected by dynamic loading when the vertical depth was less than 0.89 m. (ii) The dynamic displacement of the foundation bed is larger than that of the embankment body. The displacement response of the slope near the top and about 1/4 of the elevation of slope is the largest. (iii) The taproot of the living poles has many reverse bending points, and the bending moment of the taproot between the lateral roots shows the law of being larger on the top and smaller on the bottom. (iv) The slope facing has an amplifying effect on the vibration load of the train, and the farther away from the track, the smaller the amplifying effect. The research results have reference significance for the theoretical research and engineering application of living poles. |
