Abstract:
Earthquake-induced rock landslides in the eastern mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, especially landslides with weak interlayers pose a significant threat to major construction projects. Prestressed anchor cable is one of the main reinforcement methods of rock slopes. This paper combines shaking table model tests and numerical simulation to study the reinforcement effect and dynamic response characteristics of prestressed anchor cables applied to rock slopes with weak interlayers under strong earthquakes. The research results show that prestressed anchor cables can effectively reinforce slopes with weak interlayers. A small cable inclination, a small spacing and a high prestress are recommended in the seismic reinforcement design of prestressed anchor cable. In addition, the characteristics of slope progressive damage and prestress loss under the earthquake are found by the shaking table test. The results have been applied in hazard prevention and control of rock slopes on the Chengdu-Lanzhou Railway at the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
