Visco-elastic back-analysis on displacements and prediction of deformation in the shiplock slope of Wuqiangxi hydroelectric power station

The back analysis on displacements may provide a new method for engineers responsible for the slope engineering design to choose mechanical parameters and some components of the initial stress. On the basis of characteristics of the strata of the slope in the left bank of Wuqiangxi hydroelectric power station, H K model is selected, and mechanical parameters required for the slope engineering design are back analyzed from measured displacements of the slope in this paper. Its principle and method are discussed in details.
