Remedial Measures for a Rainfall-Induced Creeping Landslide: A Case Study

This paper presents a case study on the remedial measures of a rainfall-induced creeping landslide near the coastal area of China. The relationship between landslide activity and hydrological conditions is investigated through an integrated monitoring system. In-situ monitoring results indicate that the creeping motion of the landslide is mainly regulated by seasonal rainfall. Considering the on-going activity of the landslide, some remedial measures, including slope cut, superficial and underground drainage, were carried out for mitigating the potential damage to the railway transportation at the toe of the landslide. The subsequent monitoring result reveals that all the remedial measures effectively relieve the activities of the landslide.
