Abstract
This paper presented the reactivated mechanism of Badu landslide according to site investigations, monitoring, finite element and limit equilibrium analyses. Finite element analysis incorporating a stability analysis with the finite element stress-based method revealed a large railway cut triggered a localized slide in the upper part of Badu landslide rather than a global failure, and piles in three rows were effective in stabilizing the reactivated zone. Monitoring results and the limit equilibrium analysis showed that the landslide underwent multi-instabilities rather than a global failure due to a rise in groundwater table in rainy season. The mechanism of reactivated Badu landslide was finally proposed, i.e., “grading creeping-sliding” mechanism, which helped designers to propose the most suitable mitigation measures to stabilize the landslide.
