Abstract

In order to reveal the destructive mechanism of loess landslide induced by stagnant water on the combined surface, and to clarify the influence of the main control factors, this paper takes a typical loess landslide in northern Shaanxi as the research object, analyzes the structure of the rock and soil body, and the excavation and filling construction through the geohazard survey, and analyzes the process of traction sliding caused by the stagnant water on the combined surface at the different stages of the project by combining with the calculation of the stability of the slope body. Further the article analyses the process of traction sliding caused by water on the combined area due to construction by means of a discrete element model, and delves into the mechanism of strength reduction of saturated loess. The results show that: 1) the combined surface stagnant water type loess landslide has the characteristics of sudden sliding and rapid evolution, which is highly hazardous and difficult to prevent and control; 2) the slope destabilization is controlled by the engineering geological conditions, and the slope excavation changes the original mechanical equilibrium conditions of the slope, which provides the dynamic conditions for the traction sliding of the slope; 3) the change of the hydrogeological environment results in the obstruction of the natural drainage channel, which leads to the formation of continuous sliding surface due to stagnant water on the combined surface, and the formation of a continuous sliding surface due to stagnant water on the combined surface. Surface stagnant water to form a continuous slippery surface, inducing the overall destabilization of the slope damage; 4) loess strength index with the increase of saturation and the exponential function form of reduction, and when the saturation degree reaches more than 80%, the strength index of the soil body to reach the basic stability. The article expanding the ideas of landslide control and analysis, and the research results will provide a theoretical basis for the design of junction landslide management in the loess areas of northern Shaanxi.
