The Physical and Mechanic Properties of the Loess Landslide

Abstract:

The loess landslide in BaDong city, HuBei province China suffers great losses, which is an extremely typical landslide disaster. Variation in water level in the Yangtse River and rainfall has enormous influence on the loess landslide disaster. Some tests on loess have been done, which mainly include water content influence on shear strength of the loess, the relation between water content and dry density etc. The results have shown that When the water content average increasing with 3%, the cohesive strength reduces with 57%，49%，54% respectively and the internal friction angle average reduces 43%. The bigger the water content, the bigger the shear displacement at the same imposed load. When water content average increases with 3%, the corresponding maximum shear stress reduces with 50%, which may be in favor of loess landslide disaster prevention.
