Resumen: | Steep fill–bedrock interfaces usually appear in many filling soil infrastructures, such as airports, houses, and road embankments in mountainous areas, when the excavation of rock slopes is constrained. These interfaces are prone to be tensioned up to failure, which easily triggers landslides of fill slopes. The anchor system buried in the fill soil, named radial cable system, was proposed for effectively enhancing the stability of steep fill–bedrock interfaces. At the interface, the steel ropes of the anchor section cable were equally divided into three subcables with a radial distribution. The pullout performance, failure evolution, and branching effect of the radial cable coupled with anchor plates were studied by a pullout test (in a laboratory setup) and a numerical simulation. The results showed that (1) the ultimate pullout capacities (Pu) of the radial cables were 193.53%–312.94% (for the 7 mm diameter of the anchor plate) and 141.25%–247.50% (for the 10 mm diameter of the anchor plate) greater than those of the single cables; (2) the pullout performance of the radial cable was significantly improved with an increase in the diameter of the anchor plate, and the optimal radial inclined angle of subcables coupled with anchor plates was 15°; (3) the soil surrounding the radial cable showed a progressive failure pattern, and its failure area was basically a symmetric conical; and (4) the radial cable can better reinforce the steep fill–rock interface than the conventional cable, as verified by a hill-fill project. The results of this study provide some new and important guidelines for the design and application of the radial cable system. |
