Site Investigation of a Loess Slope for a Field Irrigation Test

Abstract:

The Heifangtai plateau, having an area of about 14 km2, has experienced more than 70 loess landslides since 1960s. Aiming at investigating the slope instability induced by irrigation, a field test was proposed. As an important part of the field test, a detailed site investigation was conducted systematically. The topographical details of a typical loess slope at Heifangtai were obtained by a 3D laser scanner. The cracks and the plan view of the site were obtained using GPS. The lithological profile, groundwater level, sampling and soil permeability, were also investigated respectively. On the basis of the site investigation, the field test was conducted successfully.
