Landslide Stability Analysis Based on GeoStudio

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to monitor landslide risk, GeoStudio software is frequently applied to landslide stability analysis. In this paper, Juting landslide in Shanxi was subjected by GeoStudio software, while limit equilibrium method was adopted to calculate the landslide stability in the slip surface. The solutions of stress and displacement vector were gotten through SIGMA / W module on the landslide for finite element method in sliding surface stress analysis. And it was also used to import the results obtained in SIGMA / W module into SLOPE / W module to calculate safety factor and the potential sliding surface. The result shows that the calculated safety factors which are worked out by those two ways are close to each other, and limit equilibrium method can be used in landslide stability analysis, but the finite element method is more consistent with the actual situation. GeoStudio software can calculate landslide stability coefficient conveniently, and can express potential slip surface intuitively, providing reliable foundation for landslide stability analysis.
