AbstractThe risk management of landslide surges after water storage in large reservoirs is a major challenge in reservoir management. The water storage in the reservoir area of the Baihetan hydropower station on the Jinsha River brings the potential of Wangjiashan landslide activation. This paper proposes a mitigation measurement based on slope cutting for the Wangjiashan landslide and evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of the management scheme through numerical simulation. Results indicate that when water storage is in a normal level, after an earthquake, the landslide will impact the Baihetan Reservoir with a maximum velocity of 8.52 m/s, generating waves with a maximum wave height of 15.63 m. By removing the upper part of the landslide, the volume of the landslide is reduced from 611×104m3 to 369×104m3, it will cut down the maximum wave height in the Xiangbiling residential area to 3.09 m, which significantly reduces the risk of landslide surge waves. It further establishes a disaster prevention and control plan for the landslide-induced wave disaster. Overall, this study provides important theoretical and practical references for the risk management of landslide surge waves and offers valuable insights for addressing similar issues in the future.
