Synthetical Classification and Damage Pattern of Slope/Landslide in Western Hubei Province

Abstract

Western mountain of Hubei Province is a landslide-prone area in China, by transportation, utilities, energy, resources and other infrastructure greatly being underway, a large number of excavation and water-storing landslides may be triggered in future. The swift establishment of a synthetical classification system for the regional slope/landslide is the basic work for further research to the development of distribution law, deformation&failure mechanism, space-time forecasts and the corresponding treatment policy. This article first presented the multi-level block diagram of the synthetical classification system, then gave the classified 19 slopes preliminarily. Finally, the deformation&failure pattern and mechanism of all kinds of slopes/landslides in this region were analysed, and some typical engineering examples were also listed.
