The reservoir water level fluctuation is an important factor inducing the reaction of pore-water pressure, seepage and at last resulting in instability and failure of the slope. A typical homogeneous slope is conducted as an example in this paper, the seepage and stress coupling effect is considered, and the slope stability calculation and analysis are carried out by using the finite element stress method. The results demonstrate that the factor of safety increases with the reservoir water level rises, and then gradually changes from decrease to stabilization. It should be noted that the factor of safety decreases slightly during the initial stage of water level rising at the speed of 0.2 m/d, which the slope will probably lose its stability. On the other, the factor of safety changes from decrease to increase along with the reservoir water level drawdown, and then gradually tends to stabilization. There is a minimum factor of safety when the water level is at about 1/4 of the slope height, and the minimum factor of safety decreases with increasing drawdown speed, just as the factor of safety decreases from 0.83 to 0.73 when the drawdown speed is increased from 0.20 m/d to 5.0 m/d.

This paper selects the Xietan sewage treatment plant slope as research object, used the fluid-solid coupling finite element analysis software (ABAQUS) and intelligent displacement back analysis method to dynamically inverse the deformation module of rock and soil of the slope when exposed to water level fluctuation. The results show that the calculation displacement values of measuring point which based on the inversion method is very close to that based on field measurement, which indicates the intelligent displacement back analysis method is suitable to dynamically inverse rock and soil physical and mechanical parameters of slope when exposed to reservoir water level fluctuation.

Engineering geology characteristics of No. 7 landslide located at Ciha Gorge is described and shear strength of the slip band soils is determined. Based on the above, unbalanced pushing force method is used to calculate the stability factor of the landslide the under different work conditions. It shows that the influence of the reservoir water level rising on the No. 7 landslide mainly includes two points: (1) water makes the shear strength of slip band soils reduced and thus result in the reduction of the stability factor; (2) the rising of reservoir water level also exerts water pressure to the surface of landslide body, and this is beneficial to landslide stability. Calculation results show that with the rising of reservoir water level the stability factor will experience beginning’s reducing followed by later increasing. The minimum stability factor in the process of impounding is 1.05 and it will be 1.08 when reservoir water level reaches to normal impounded level. This shows that No. 7 landslide will maintain elemental stability status in the all process of impounding.

The change of reservoir water level fluctuation has an important influence on the landslide deformation. In this paper, taking Zigui County of the Three Gorges Reservoir Shuping landslide as an example, based on the deformation and water level of reservoir deformation related analysis of landslide, summarizes the general rule by reservoir water level variation effect on deformation of landslide, which can provide some reference for the monitoring and analysis of landslide similar.

It has been accepted that the rainfall and the reservoir water level fluctuation plays an important role in the stability of the reservoir bankside. However, at present, there has not been suitable simplification method for the project application to calculate and appraise. Therefore, based on the Boussinesq’s differential equation of unsteady-seepage and boundary condition, and Laplace’s transform, the curvilinear equation of phreatic line in landslide mass is deduced under the rainfall and the reservoir water level fluctuation conditions, and a simplified formula which can be used in the project is gained by the polynomial fitting. Meanwhile, it holds together the transmission coefficient method to write programs about the bankside stability analysis in the paper. With the Er-Liban landslide of the three Gorges Reservoir area for the computation model, this paper use the program to analyze the change rule and stability of the phreatic line under the reservoir water level fluctuation and rainfall condition.
