Study on the Impact of Water Level Fluctuations on the Stability of Reservoir Bank Landslides in Guangxi

International Journal of Engineering Advances, 2025, vol. 2, issue 2, 78-84

Abstract: The unique geological structure and climatic conditions in Guangxi make reservoir bank land-slides particularly problematic, with water level fluctuations being a key factor in inducing them. This paper systematically analyzes the mechanisms by which water level fluctuations affect the stability of reservoir bank landslides from a theoretical perspective, revealing the coupling effects of permeability, softening, buoyancy, and fatigue. By constructing a "hydrological-geological-mechanical" multi-field coupling model, the controlling effects of rock and soil permeability, geological conditions, and water level fluctuation rate on landslide stability are explored. The results indicate that permeability induced by sudden water level drops is the dominant factor in landslide instability, while fatigue damage caused by long-term water level fluctuations significantly reduces the long-term strength of rock and soil. The theoretical framework proposed in this paper provides a scientific basis for preventing and controlling reservoir land-slides in Guangxi and is of great reference value for similar projects.
