Abstract
The thermal stress caused by the difference of temperature in rock slope is
an important factor influencing the process of weathering. By using Finite
Element Method (FEM), the characteristics of alternating thermal stress fi
eld are analyzed, and the criterion of fatigue failure caused by the therma
l stress is proposed. As an example, the formation mechanism of the concave
cavity in the dangerous rock mass in the Chongqing. area is analyzed.
