Dynamic modeling of minimum mass of pore-gas for triggering landslide in stable gentle soil slope
This paper presents a dynamic modeling method to test and examine the minimum mass of pressurized pore-gas for triggering landslides in stable gentle soil slopes. A stable gentle soil slope model is constructed with a dry cement powder core, a saturated clay middle layer, and a dry sand upper layer. The test injects H2O2 solution into the cement core to produce new pore-gas. The model test includes three identical H2O2 injections. The small mass of generated oxygen gas (0.07% of slope soil mass and landslide body) from the first injection can build sufficient pore-gas pressure to cause soil upheaval and slide. Meanwhile, despite the first injection causing leak paths in the clay layer, the generated small mass of gas from the second and third injections can further trigger the landslide. A dynamic theoretical analysis of the slope failure is carried out and the required minimum pore-gas pressure for the landslide is calculated. The mass and pressure of generated gas in the model test are also estimated based on the calibration test for oxygen generation from H2O2 solution in cement powder. The results indicate that the minimum mass of the generated gas for triggering the landslide is 2 ppm to 0.07% of the landslide body. Furthermore, the small mass of gas can provide sufficient pressure to cause soil upheaval and soil sliding in dynamic analysis.
