Abstract

Numerical simulation analysis and limit equilibrium methods are usually used in landslide stability analysis. In order to study the differences of calculation theory and results, this paper takes Huangmuya landslide as a case study. The field geological survey and exploration are used to determine the form and property of the landslide. The deformation characteristics and stability state are comprehensive analyzed based on the information of macroscopic inspection and professional monitoring data. It is considered that the potential slip zone of the landslide has not obviously deteriorated, and the induced formation mechanism of the landslide mainly comes from the process and deformation of the upper slip mass. Through the analysis, FLAC3D is applied to simulate the stability of Huangmuya landslideis. The numerical simulation results show that the displacement of the slope will further increase, mainly concentrated in the middle and leading edge of the slip mass. Besides, stability coefficients are calculated by five limit equilibrium methods. The relationship of stability coefficients is as follows: transfer coefficient method > Low method > US Army Corps of Engineers method > M-P method > Janbu method. Based on the numerical simulation results, it is recommended to give priority to the US Army Corps of Engineers method, Low method or M-P method as the stability calculation method because the deviation amount is all within±2%.
