Analysis on Formation Mechanism and Stability of Nierwan Landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

Suffering the influence of the Three Gorges Reservoir impounding, Nierwan landslide already has produced very big transmutation, whose destructiveness and influence are great and wide. First, this paper introduces the characteristics of geology, structure and deformation of the landslide. On the basis of the study mentioned above, the formation mechanism and influencing factors of the landslide are deeply analyzed. Finally this paper adopts transfer coefficient method to calculate and evaluate the stability. According to study, the landslide is in the status of creeping or failure. So Nierwan Landslide needs to be controlled recently.
