APPLICATION OF CENTRIFUGAL MODELING FOR THE STUDY OF LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE STABILITY

The calculation of stability by mathematical methods of complex shapes of slopes with a diverse geological structure is reduced to simple formulations and assumptions for finding curves of sliding surfaces and for forecasting possible forms of stability loss. The method of centrifugal modeling allows us to conduct in-depth studies of the experimental, reproduced, reduced scale of the slope and to reliably identify the nature of the existing deformations after rotation on a centrifuge, analyze them and draw conclusions about the stability of the studied slope. The centrifugal simulation can be divided into four stages, each of which is described in detail in this article with reference to photo materials and descriptions. The obtained results of the centrifugal modeling of the shifting slope of the Krasnopovstanska ravine and the analysis of the deformed state of the model before and after placement of soil cement piles in the body of the slope. Centrifugal modeling is not a new method for studying the stability of slopes. This method requires special complex hardware and hardware, therefore, it is used rather infrequently. Conducting this type of research is accompanied by a small amount of informative literature on the methodology of the simulation itself. This article is devoted to the question of conducting and successfully using the method of centrifugal modeling of landslide slopes with the observance of certain features. Application of the technique of centrifugal modeling allows solving problems of calculating the stability of natural slopes with complex geological structure.
