Study on the stability of excavation process of permafrost subgrade slope in Alpine region by Zhilong Zhang, Jiyang Zhang, Jiangang Chen, Jing Luo, Bingbing Lei

“…However, this approach often overlooks the impact of construction activities on water redistribution—particularly concerning the migration and accumulation of water at the frost-thaw interface—resulting in a less accurate evaluation of slope stability.In this study, we employ the strength reduction method, utilizing the strength reduction coefficient as a safety factor for slope stability assessment. A model for evaluating construction stability in slopes has been established. …”
