In the study of the seepage characteristics of layered rock slope under rainfall conditions, the majority of previous research has considered the hydraulic conduction to be isotropic, or only considered the anisotropy ratio of the hydraulic conductivity, ignoring the anisotropy angle. In the current study, a layered rock slope in the Pulang region was selected as an example. Then, based on the fitting parameters of the Van Genuchten model, pore water pressure sensitivity analyses of the layered rock slope were carried out. The anisotropy ratio and anisotropy angle were used to analyze the sensitivity of the seepage and stability of the layered rock slopes. The results show that as the anisotropy angle of hydraulic conductivity of layered rock slope decreased, the maximum volume water content of surface (MWCS) of layered rock slope gradually increased. Additionally, as the anisotropy ratio decreased and the anisotropy angle increased, the rising heights of the groundwater (RHG) of layered rock slope gradually increased. When the hydraulic conduction of layered rock slope was considered isotropic, the factor of safety (FS) tended to be overestimated. As the anisotropy ratio decreased and the anisotropy angle increased, the factor of safety (FS) of layered rock slope decreased. Prevention should be the objective for rock slopes with larger dip angles in the bedding plane in the Pulang region. This study provides feasible schemes for the evaluation of the seepage and stability of layered rock slopes in Pulang region of southwestern China.
Migration is considered to be a key step in the data processing of the seismic advancement predictions of tunnels, and it directly affects the final interpretations. Therefore, with the goal of addressing the limitations of the current acoustic reverse-time migration processes, as well as deepening the understanding of the interactions between different wave modes in traditional elastic reverse-time migration, a vector P-and S-wave reverse-time migration method is proposed in this study. Consideration is given to the actual tunnel spaces, and forward calculations and reverse-time extrapolations of the wavefields are carried out based on the first-order velocity-stress elastic wave equation of P-and S-wave separation and a high-order staggered-grid algorithm. The imaging conditions of a source-normalized cross-correlation are used to realize the imaging. Then, a Laplace filtering method is adopted to suppress the low-frequency artefacts. Numerical simulations of the weak interlayer and karst cave models show that the proposed method had the ability to more effectively suppress noise and achieve highprecision imaging of tunnel spaces, when compared with using horizontal or vertical components to directly obtain the images. The positions and shapes within the tunnel spaces can be accurately imaged regardless of whether they are lithologic interfaces or local geological bodies. This is found to improve the resolution and accuracy of the tunnel advancement predictions. Finally, the proposed method is successfully applied to the real data processing, and the effects are found to be satisfactory.
