Time Prediction of the Xintan Landslide in Xiling Gorge, the Yangtze River
Abstract The Xintan landslide is a large-scale landslide that occurred in Xiling Gorge, the last gorge upstream of the Three Gorges in the Yangtze River. It occurred on May 12, 1985. Through intensive monitoring and field investigation, the occurrence of this landslide was predicted successfully, and human loss was avoided in Xintan Town, which is located at the toe part of this landslide. In this chapter, the deformation property is described, and the monitoring data are presented to show the prediction process.
