Abstract

To reveal the dynamic evolution process of slope destabilization of soft substrate waste dump slope under vibration, the block stacking loose slope simulation test system was used to carry out the relevant research, and the stage characteristics of the soft substrate waste dump destabilization under vibration were quantitatively analyzed; the Rosin–Rammler distribution function, which describes the distribution characteristics of the loose medium in the waste dump, was modified based on the concept of the relative height. The results show that the particle size distribution of the loose media in the waste dump has obvious correlation with the relative height, and the modified Rosin–Rammler distribution can better describe the relationship between the two; when the vibration frequency is ≤ 20 Hz, the small particles on the slope surface of the waste dump experience slight slip, while medium and large particle sizes are basically in the stable state, accompanied by the phenomenon of vibration compaction. When the vibration frequency > 20 Hz, there is a small range of slippage on the slope surface of the waste dump slope, with the increase of vibration frequency, the slippage range of the slope surface of the waste dump slope is gradually enlarged, accompanied by particles sliding and flowing, ultimately forming a large range of slippage and bench surface damage, and causing the dynamic instability of the waste dump. The research results can provide fundamental support for the study of dynamic instability of waste dump slopes.
