- Abstract
Based on actual engineering geological data in Guangzhou, this study establishes a finite element numerical model for the clay-covered karst collapse. The coupled Euler-Lagrange method (CEL) is adopted to simulate the process of the clay-covered karst collapse. Multiple sets of numerical simulations are conducted using the orthogonal experimental method. By comparing the numerical simulation results of different cavity spans and friction angles of cohesive soil, the development mode of the clay-covered karst collapse is studied. The mechanism of the clay-covered karst collapse is explained, i.e., after the failure of the soil arch, if the span of the soil arch is too large and causes excessive weight of the overlying soil, the new soil arch cannot withstand the gravitational load of the upper soil, leading to further development into complete collapse; if the cavity span is small, it is more likely for soil to form a stable new soil arch and prevent complete collapse.
