ABSTRACT
In recent years, numerical simulation method is widely applied in the field of protecting the cultural relics. M.C. He et al. (2004) used Flac3D to simulate the deformation and failure process of the Gaogouli’s Jiangjunfen under four cases (the gravity field, and the local soft foundation, and the ground water seepage field, and during earthquake condition). The simulation results show the Jiangjunfen’s structure will lead to local instability and overall unstability when the seismic intensity is VI and VII degrees. J.K. Liu et al. (2011) employed Flac3D to simulate the 3-d seismic
1 INTRODUCTION
The study object of this paper is a large “Huangchang Ticou” tomb of the Han Dynasty in Dingtao (Fig. 1). That is situated in the northwest 1000 meters away from Dalijia village of Heze city of Shandong province. Since October 2010, some archaeologists excavate the tomb for rescued and achieved impressive results. It is found to be the largest in scale and the best preserved among all the “Huangchang Ticou” tombs in China (S.K. Cui et al. 2012). So it is valuable for research and exhibition. The excavation of the tomb makes a contribution to study the shape and structure of “Huangchang Ticou” tombs of the Han Dynasty. It also has crucial scientific value and historical value for studying the Han dynasty burial system and burial customs. Hence, a study concerns analysis of the stability and groundwater seepage for the Tomb No. 2 of the Han Dynasty in Dingtao is needed. The Han tomb was constructed in the rammed-earth, forming a deeply buried large chamber. The tomb is found to locate in the Yellow River flooding alluvial plain and it is buried by the alluvium with the thickness of 11 m.
