Due to the special internal and external dynamic action of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the high and cold valleys are typically characterized by high-steep terrain, dry and cold climate, lithologic diversity, complex geological structure, and frequent occurrence of earthquakes. In this study, the types of special geotechnical structures of bank slope deposits in high and cold valleys are summarized based on field investigation, field and laboratory tests, and numerical simulation. These special deposits include colluvial-deluvial deposits, terrace deposits, early debris flow deposits, and landslide deposits. The formation mechanism, physical and mechanical properties, and stability analysis of these deposits were studied. The results show that the formation mechanism of various deposits is different, which is closely related to the intense geological tectonic action, the weathering and unloading action intensified by freezing and thawing cycles, and the special rock and soil structure in the high and cold valleys. Different material compositions have obvious effects on the physical and mechanical properties of the deposits, thus affecting the stability and deformation characteristics of the deposits. Under natural and saturated conditions, the stability of different types of the deposits is different, which is mainly related to the special geotechnical structure of various deposits. Compared with that before the reservoir impoundment, the stability factor of various deposits after the reservoir impoundment is significantly reduced. The performances can be provided as a reference for evaluating the stability of bank slope deposits in high and cold valleys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
