Formation Mechanism and Treatment of the Mudstone Landslide of Xi'an-Baoji Expressway, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

There is a mudstone landslide that poses threat to ramp bridge of Xishan interchange of Xi'an-Baoji Expressway located in Shanxi province, China. This article analyzes the engineering geology and hydrogeological characteristics at first; and then find out that construction loading in the upper of the slope is the main reason for this landslide. Meantime, rainfall and the special geologic conditions of the slope are also two significant contributors to the slide. Landslide thrusts are calculated under natural state (123 kN/m) and saturated state (1645 kN/m) respectively, and used in the analysis of slope stability. A comprehensive treatment with slope cutting, anti-slide pile and drainage is design for the landslide.
