Modeling of soil–rock mixture landslides with the generalized interpolation material point method
Abstract
The new numerical model for studying the dynamic evolution of soil–rock mixture landslides is presented in this article. The numerical model based on the generalized interpolation material point method analyzes a simplified slope. The gravity is linearly loaded, and the linear elastic model is used to update the stress to obtain the initial state of the slope. A small soil cohesion is set to trigger the slope sliding until the equilibrium state is reached again. During this period, the elastic–plastic material model based on the Drucker–Prager criterion is adopted for soil and stones. The differences in dynamic evolution between the homogeneous soil slope and soil–rock mixture slope are studied. Under the same stone content, the influence of the size and shape of stone on the dynamic evolution of slope is studied.
