A Multiple Method of Monitoring for Rainfall Induced Landslide

Abstract

Landslide induced by rainfall is very common in the world, which seriously threatens the safety and construction. Taking the landslide on the right bank of the Xiajiang Water Control Project as an example, this paper carried out comprehensive monitoring of groundwater level, earth pressure, and surface deformation of the landslide analyzed the landslide formation mechanism and predicted the stability of the landslide. The results show that the rainfall infiltration caused fluctuations in the groundwater level of the slope, which caused the instability of liquefaction in the shallow surface layer, fluctuations in the reservoir reduced the stability of the slope. Groundwater activity between the bedrock and the soil-rock mixture controls the slope stability to a large extent. Based on the comprehensive impact analysis of these triggering events, it is considered that the slope is undergoing continuous deformation and needs to be landslide management.
