[pt] ANÁLISE DA ESTABILIDADE DE TALUDES SOLAPADOS POR VOÇOROCAMENTO / [en] STABILITY ANALYSIS OF SOIL SLOPES UNDERMINED BY VOÇOROCAS

CARLOS ATALIBA BORGES SILVEIRA 01 November 2001 (has links)
[pt] Neste trabalho o método dos elementos finitos é empregado para analisar a estabilidade de taludes em solo solapados por voçorocas. Muitos dos deslizamentos de solo que ocorrem em taludes e encostas têm sido causados pelo fenômeno de voçorocas, o resultado de um processo de erosão de solos muito complexo. Uma breve revisão sobre a formação e o crescimento de voçorocas, bem como sobre os seus efeitos na estabilidade de taludes em solo, é feita neste trabalho. Exemplos ilustrativos da aplicação desta técnica para alguns casos de taludes e encostas erodidos por voçorocas são apresentados, incluindo-se duas análises numéricas da estabilidade de encostas situadas na cidade de Goiânia - GO. Dificuldades numéricas devido à baixa taxa de convergência da solução nas proximidades do colapso do talude são também discutidas. / [en] 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.
