Destruction mechanism of sand-covered karst collapse in Guangzhou
Based on realistic engineering geological data in Guangzhou,this study establishes a finite element model for simulating the collapse of the overlying sand stratum after drilling through karst caves roofs.The coupled Euler-Lagrange method(CEL) is employed to simulate the collapse process of the sand stratum. Multiple sets of numerical simulations are conducted using orthogonal experimental design to investigate the influences of different sand stratum thicknesses,cave sizes,and friction angles on the development pattern and to elucidate the mechanism of collapse in the overlying sand stratum. The results indicate that as the thickness of the sandy soil cover layer increases,both the maximum surface displacement and collapse rate of the sand stratum decrease,and the central collapse area becomes noticeably smaller. With an increase in cave size,the collapse range and maximum surface displacement increase. After drilling through karst cave roofs in engineering projects,the vertically adjacent sand near the karst caves undergoes initial instability and failure,with its influence range primarily affected by the thickness of the sand stratum,and the collapse rate mainly influenced by the range of unstable soil. Once the soil in the central collapse area becomes unstable, the surrounding soil is subjected to shear stress and fails,causing displacement towards the center of the karst cave. The amount of soil migration towards the karst cave is mainly influenced by the size of the karst cave, and this portion of the sand exhibits a collapse morphology similar to the angle of repose.
