Abstract:This study aims to determine the cause of a landslide located at Taihu Resort in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Field monitoring has been conducted, including two-dimensional finite element method (FEM) numerical analyses to examine slope stability under different working conditions. The monitoring data indicated that the slope deformation was triggered in two phases: at a certain period when the slope was cut and moderate rainfall occurred in November; and afterward, when a continuous heavy rainfall intensi… Show more
