Abstract

The deformation and failure mechanism of landslides caused by reservoir water operations is a significant problem that is being addressed by researchers. The Xiaochatou Landslide in the Wudongde Reservoir area is taken as an example for the performance of centrifugal model tests under gravel conditions with the rapid drawdown of the reservoir water level. The data concerning the displacement and pore water pressure during this process show that the Xiaochatou Landslide, which is a complex landslide containing a shallow slide mass, middle slide mass and deep slide mass, is extremely sensitive to the rapid drawdown of the water level. The centrifuge tests show that the shallow slide mass will fail and that the middle slide mass will suffer a large displacement after a rapid decrease in the reservoir water level. Furthermore, the Xiaochatou Landslide exhibits the characteristics of retrogressive failure.
