Abstract

It is found by engineering geological exploration that No.5 slope in Wutai-Yuxian expressway is typical dip slope forming in ancient gneiss terrain. We conclude that slope deformation and failure mainly result from the gneiss and mica schist constituting the slope and the heavy precipitation in construction period. Besides, the insufficiency of geological exploration in revealing the complex geology and the deficiency of designation and constructing in preventing and controlling geohazards are the engineering factors causing landslide in No.5 slope. Slope cutting and reinforcement, draining and cutting off the surface water, and enhancing the displacement monitoring for potential sliding surface may serve as a reference for construction and supporting designation of deep cutting slope in this area as well as for constructing slope engineering in the areas sharing similar geology with this area.
