However, the anchoring is not a permanent guarantee of stability, and the slope retains a potential risk of instability. From the perspective of the internal force of anchor cables, a new early warning method for the safety of the slope is provided, and a slope analysis model is established. With the increase in the strength reduction factor, the internal force increment curves of anchor cables under different prestresses are obtained. The point corresponding to strength reduction factors λ1 and λ2 represents a warning point. Key conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The internal force of an anchor cable can be used to judge the stability of the slope strengthened by a prestressed anchor cable. (2) A warning index based on the internal force increment ratio of anchor cables is established. (3) The internal force increment ratio of anchor cables eliminates the influence of the initial prestress and is convenient for engineering applications.}, type={Article}, title={An early warning method for a slope based on the increment ratio of anchor cable internal force}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/126850/PDF/art33_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2023.144188}, keywords={prestressed anchor cable, slope warning, the internal force increment ratio of anchor cables, safety factor}, }
