Analysis and Mitigation of a Landslide in Silty Clay Slope adjacent to a High Speed Rail

Abstract

Abstract: Landslide is a common geological hazard and it might potentially pose a significant threat to the safety of engineered structures. This paper presents a case history of a landslide hazard between a high speed rail stations DK 121+525 and +665. The mechanism, subsurface geotechnical conditions and backcalculation results of this silty clayey soil landslide are also discussed in the paper. The mitigation measures are: unloading, antislide caissons, and drainage installation. The two years operation after the mitigation indicates these measures are successful.

Key words: High Speed Rail, Landslides, Failure Mechanism, Mitigation Measures
