Study on the Development Characteristics of Ductile Shear Zone andDeformation Response of Slope Excavation in a Hydropower Station by LU Bifeng, DENG Hui, HAO Hao, LI Anrun, LI Wancai

“…The results show that:(1) The excavation results in large deformation of theshallow rock mass in the ductile shear zone, which affects the stability of the slope; (2) Thedeformation caused by excavation is mainly controlled by the unloading fissure and overflowsurface that dipping toward to the outside slope, and the geological-mechanical deformation andfailure mode is mainly slipping and fracturing; (3) The slope mainly occurs lateral displacementafter excavation, and its cumulative displacement mode is transmission to high elevation andaccumulation at the trailing edge; (4) The slope excavation and the resulting deformation energyare kept in sync, and finally affected by the elastic recovery lag of rock mass, and the residualdeformation is small near the end of excavation.…”
