METHOD OF DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE SYSTEMS ANNCLED TO THE GROUND

A method of designing a flexible system anchored to the ground for the stabilization of a slope, wherein said flexible system comprises at least one flexible membrane and a plurality of bolts for anchoring said flexible membrane to the ground, and where said slope comprises a stable mass and an unstable mass. The method comprises the steps of: calculating the shape and dimensions of an unstable mass of a slope, said unstable mass being the breaking circle in the case of a ground slope and the wedge in the case of a rock slope; introducing at least the following geometric components: the unstable mass (2) of the slope calculated in the previous stage, the stable mass (1) of the slope, the flexible membrane (3) and the location (4) of the heads of said plurality of bolts; assign a numerical formulation to each previous geometric component; introduce the properties of the materials of at least the following previous geometric components: unstable mass (2) of the slope, stable mass (1) of the slope and flexible membrane (3); define the following interactions or contacts between geometric components: unstable mass (2) of the slope and stable mass (1) of the slope, unstable mass (2) of the slope and flexible membrane (3), and stable mass (1) of the slope and membrane flexible (3); dynamically simulating numerically the fall of said unstable mass of slope as a consequence of the force of gravity, obtaining instantaneous values in time of the tensile force in at least said flexible membrane.
