Abstract

Based on the mutation theory, the paper studies the stability of loess slope, and discusses the loess slope in Yili region in Xinjiang. From the perspective of mechanics, the paper focuses on the influence of mutation phenomenon on the stability of loess slope, and deeply analyzes the mechanical mechanism in the mutation process. As an effective tool to study the phenomenon of discontinuous change, mutation theory has important applications in the stability analysis of loess slopes. By applying the mutation theory, the mutation characteristics of the loess slope in the Xinjiang Yili area were analyzed. In terms of mechanical mechanism, the stress distribution, deformation characteristics and the instability mode are discussed in detail. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, it is found that when the slope stress reaches a certain critical value, mutation will occur, leading in a sharp decline of slope stability. Specific data show that in a typical loess slope in Yili area, when the stress reaches about 0.6 MPa, the slope changes, and the displacement instantly increases to more than twice the original, indicating that the slope has been in a state of instability. In the case study of loess slope in Yili, Xinjiang, the slope stability is comprehensively evaluated by combining field investigation to monitoring data and indoor test. By identifying and analyzing the mutation characteristics of the slope, it is found that there are widespread subsidence and disintegration problems in this area, which play a key role in the mutation process. The specific data show that the subsidence coefficient of the loess slope in Yili area is generally above 0.05, and the disintegration rate is more than 0.5% per hour. These factors jointly aggravate the mutation risk of the slope. Based on the above data analysis, the paper puts forward targeted disaster prevention and mitigation measures, including strengthening slope drainage, using appropriate reinforcement technology, etc. These measures aim to reduce the risk of mutation and improve the stability of the loess slope.
