- Abstract
Rainfall, groundwater, and fluctuation in reservoir levels are considered among the main external factors affecting the stability of slopes. The impact of groundwater is particularly evident during the rainy season. In this paper, a case study on a geological investigation of the Donglingxing (DLX) landslide is presented to demonstrate a drainage control strategy. Due to the characteristics of the landslide and the limitations on the construction of stabilizing piles, a drainage tunnel system is herein used to reduce the risk of landslide. A comprehensive analysis is conducted on the monitoring data of rainfall, groundwater levels, reservoir water level, and drainage discharges from the tunnels. Based on field measurement data on groundwater level, water discharge, and deformation of the landslide before and after construction of the drainage tunnel, the effectiveness of the drainage tunnel system is evaluated. The results indicate that the drainage tunnel is effective in increasing the stability of landslide, and this work can serve as a reference case for other landslides.
