| description | In order to reveal the instability law of open pit mine slope in high-cold and high-altitude area. Firstly, the slope structural plane is scanned by three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology, and the point cloud data is obtained to realize the intelligent identification of rock mass structural plane. The geometric parameters of rock mass are counted, and the physical structure model is established. Then, we carry out freeze-thaw cyclic tests on granite to obtain the corresponding mechanical parameters. Finally, according to the obtained mechanical parameters, we use RS2 finite element software to calculate the shear strength of structural plane and joint by generalized Hoek-Brown criterion and Barton-Bandis criterion, respectively, establish the geomechanical model, and use the finite element strength reduction method to calculate the safety factor of slope and judge the instability of slope. The results show that the physical and mechanical properties of granite deteriorate with the increase of the freeze-thaw cycle. Under the action of the freeze-thaw cycle, the pore water in the rock mass freezes and forms frost heaving force. The expansion of volume leads to the further development of joint fissures. The strength of rock slope decreases gradually with the increase of freeze-thaw cycle times, and the safety factor of slope decreases continuously. It shows that repeated freeze and thaw alternation makes the stability of mine slope worse and worse. The research results are helpful to prevent the occurrence of slope disasters in advance and are of great significance to effectively and safely manage the stability of slope, the treatment of open pit, and environmental treatment. |
