New Insights Into the Reservoir Landslide Deformation Mechanism From InSAR and Numerical Simulation Technology by Guoshi Liu, Bin Wang, Qian Sun, Jun Hu, Lei-Lei Liu, Wanji Zheng, Liye Zou

“…Then, we coupled the seepage analysis results to FLAC3D model for stress and strain analysis, and determined the seepage-induced progressive failure mechanism and the deformation mode of the Shuizhuyuan landslide, driven by reservoir water-level (RWL) drop. The numerical simulation results aid in interpreting the deformation mechanism of different spatial and temporal patterns of landslides from three aspects: hydrodynamic pressure from rainfall infiltration, groundwater hysteresis caused by RWL drop, and seepage forces from RWL rise. …”
