Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||
In this work the finite element method is employed to
analyze the stability of soil slopes undermined by voçorocas
(gulling). Many of the shear slides occurred in both
natural slopes and embankments have been caused by the
phenomenon of voçorocas, the outcome of a very complex soil
erosion mechanism. A brief review about the formation and
growing of voçorocas, as well as an overview of their
effects on soil slope stability, are made in this work.
In the numerical simulation by the finite element method,
the potential slip surface is identified through the
progressive formation of a region of yielded soil as the
erosion process advances. A simple model, consisting of
incremental excavations of soil near the foot of the slope,
is used in this work to represent the undermining mechanism.
Illustrative examples of this technique are presented for
some cases of natural soil slopes eroded by voçorocas in
the city of Goiania - GO. Numerical difficulties due to the
poor convergence of the solution near the soil collapse are
also discussed.
