  4. Required input properties Young modulus Poisson ratio Density Failure criterion: M-C H-B Cohesion UCS Friction angle m & s

  5. Numerical modeling • Type of failure mechanism • Physico-mechanical behaviour of slope material • Types of analysis

  6. Numerical modeling • Continuum modelling FEM, BEM and FDM • Discontinuum modelling DEM, UDEC • Hybrid modelling PPF,

  7. What are the conditions of slope in the field • Simple slope with single, two or three joints • Large number of joint sets present in the slope • Heavily jointed rock slope • Waste dump / very weak rock / soil

  8. Simple slope with single, two or three joints • large number of joint sets present in the slope • Heavily jointed rock • Waste dump / very weak rock / soil • Properties of each Joints strength • Properties of each joint set or combined properties • Properties of jointed rock mass • Properties of waste rock

  9. Continuum modelling Continuum modeling is best suited for the analysis of slopes that are comprised of massive, intact rock, weak rocks, and soil-like or heavily jointed rock masses. Discontinuum modeling is appropriate for slopes controlled by discontinuity behaviour. • Critical Parameters: shear strength of material, constitutive criteria, water condition, insitu stress state • Advantages: Allows for material deformation and failure, model complex behaviour, pore pressures, creep deformation and/or dynamic loading can be simulated • Limitations: inability to model effects of highly jointed rock

  10. Continuum modelling • Typical Input required Moduls of Elasticity Poision ratio Density Shear strength (cohesion and friction angle) Model Behavior

  11. Continuum modelling

  12. Typical Input required • Moduls of Elasticity for rock and joints • Poision ratio for rock and joints • Density • Shear strength for rock and joints • Joint behaviour • Water pressure

  13. • Continuum modelling (water simulation) Pore water pressure Ground water table Infiltration of rain water

  14. Discontinuum modelling • Discontinuummodeling is appropriate for slopes controlled by discontinuity behaviour • Critical Parameters: discontinuity stiffness and shear strength; groundwater characteristics; in situ stress state. • Advantages: Allows for block deformation and movement of blocks relative to each other, can modeled with combined material and discontinuity behaviour coupled with hydro - mechanical and dynamic analysis • Limitations: need to simulate representative discontinuity geometry (spacing, persistence, etc.); limited data on joint properties available

  18. Hybrid modelling Hybrid codes involve the coupling of these two techniques (i.e. continuum and discontinuum) to maximize their key advantages. • Critical Parameters: Combination of input parameters • Advantages: Coupled finite-/distinctelement models able to simulate intact fracture propagation and fragmentation of jointed and bedded rock. • Limitations: high memory capacity;
