Development Characteristics and Sensitivity Analysis of Expansive Soil Slope

Abstract

According to laboratory tests of soil samples of Wangyan highway landslide, the mechanism of formation of landslide and the degree of sensitivity of various factors to slope stability are analyzed. It is found that the landslide is destroyed by the properties of expansive soil, the existence of water in the cracks, the loading of artificial filling, and the traction of old landslide. The soil samples were tested for SEM and MIP tests by lyophilization, and the particle morphology, the mode of combination, porosity, and connectivity of the sliding zone soil were observed by a scanning electron microscope. Results show that the sliding zone developed many microfissures and the clay minerals arranged tightly, the pore of sizeslope angle>highway load>filling weight. The results of research can provide a scientific basis for the treatment, protection, and reinforcement of the Wangyan highway landslide.
