Instability Mode and Movement Characteristics of Dangerous Rock Body in Steep Rock Slope

The cutting relationship and development degree of structural plane control the instability mode and scale of rock slope. The trajectory of rock mass after instability is an important basis for the design of dangerous rock prevention. The back slope of a residential area was investigated in this paper. Based on the survey data of the field structure surfaces, the possible instability mode of the slope rock mass was analyzed by using the stereographic projection method. The shear strength parameters of the rock mass were inverted through the investigation of dangerous rock mass. Finally, ANSYS/LS-DYNA was used to simulate the dangerous rock mass motion trajectory. This study provides a reference for the analysis of the instability process of single rock.
