Resumen

In recent years, our country?s transmission lines have often been in danger due to geological disasters such as landslides when passing through fragile geological environments, which has brought great challenges and risks to the operation and maintenance of transmission lines. In order to understand the impact of transmission line towers on tower foundation slopes under heavy rainfall conditions, the influence of towers at different locations, rainfall intensities, and slopes on slope stability was analyzed by using Geo-Studio finite element analysis software. The results show that the slope has an important influence on the selection of the reasonable position of the tower. When the tower is located at the lower part of the slope, the safety factor of the slope is the highest. The safety factor of the slope is also reduced, and eventually the slope will be unstable and destroyed; the stability coefficient of the slope in the natural state is 1.221, which is in a stable state. Slopes are prone to overall sliding, with the spoil and overburden as the sliding body and the rock?soil contact surface as the sliding surface. This result provides a scientific basis for further understanding the influence mechanism of the slope angle at the location of the tower pole on this type of landslide under rainfall conditions. Further research can use the results of this paper as a benchmark to carry out corresponding experimental analysis and verification work.
