Abstract

A monitoring system was implemented to monitor the hydrodynamic and deformation response of a preexisting landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. The monitoring results indicate that the deformation is mainly caused by reservoir impounding and is mainly composed of the deformation of the slip band. The effect of reservoir level fluctuation on landslide stability mainly depend on two aspects, one is the change of shear stress and shear strength on the slip surface due to the change of slide body weight and pore water pressure, the other is seepage pressure.
