STUDY ON THE APPLICATION OF DISCONTINUOUS DEFORMATION ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE THE MECHANISM OF ROCK SLOPE INSTABILITY

Abstract

In order to foresee collapse of rock slope, numerical method will be extremely useful. However, it will be difficult to simulate collapsed, considering difficulties of rock parameter, such as geology, fracture, fault and laboratory testing into numerical calculation. This paper deals with the relevance of numerical modeling with respect to mechanical properties of rock proposed by authors. The actual data of Amatoribashi west district is referred in this paper, which was the representative case of our field monitoring studies, 13 sites in Japan.
