Deformation of Reservior Landslide during Reservoir Water Fluctuation

Abstract:

On the base of the obtained materials and considering the factors of composition features, dynamic mechanism and deformation-motion characteristics, the three-dimension numerical simulation model is generated. And the parameters of Young module, passion ratio and shear strength are obtained. Then the calculation conditions are extracted from the combination of the inducible factors and the displacement features. After that, the deformation failure are simulated by the FLAC3D code, and the results are compared to the monitoring data. The results indicate that the influence of the water impoundment on the stability of the landslide is small, the water descending is large. For the front part monitoring points, the amounts and the curve shapes of the numerical calculation results are accord with the practical ones, but for the monitoring point in back there are only the similarities in the curve shapes, and the amounts are a little smaller.
