Abstract

Loess–mudstone interfacial landslide is one of the most prominent landslide hazards that occurred in soil-rock contacting zones in the world. A semi-similar material physical model test was conducted to investigate the startup conditions and sliding mechanism of rainfall-induced loess–mudstone interfacial landslides based on the landslides which occurred in Qingshuihe county, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. When rainwater infiltrates downward along loess strata and gradually gathers near the interface, the soil strata near the interface are softened, causing frictional constraint reduction. The mudstone strata serve as an aquifuge between underlying mudstone and overlying loess strata due to different permeability coefficients. As rainfall continues, the softened zone is expanded and gradually developed into fluidization, ultimately leading to interfacial landslide. This instability process is studied and reproduced experimentally through a self-designed physical model test in this paper. The model test results indicate that startup conditions of interfacial landslides are related to rainfall intensity and duration as well as thickness of overlying loess strata. This study also indicates that the more the impact is from the rock at the back of the slope, the more likely an interfacial landslide is to occur. But this is not a decisive factor to induce the interfacial landslide. The gradient of slope is also a potential factor to induce interfacial landslide. When the gradient exceeds 24°, the cutting layer landslide is likely to occur because impact of gravity is greater than that of interface friction resistance. This study, exploring startup conditions and the sliding mechanism of rainfall-induced loess–mudstone interfacial landslides, provides a scientific guidance for the prevention, monitoring, early warning, and control for geologic landslide hazards.
